Long Drive and Mysteries
Few weeks ago, I went to Marion Bay with two of my friends. It is about 290 Km from Adelaide. It was a fun drive with lovely bays and mysteries.
After driving about 100 Km, we reached Pt. Wakefield and decided to fuel up and drink a coffee. And now it was a time to sort out where we were staying and all schedule. As we had a tight budget, we planned to stay in the Caravan for a night. I looked up for some caravans in my iPhone and found one contact. I found that it is a place somewhere in Marion Bay, without any house numbers or Street name. And the lady, who was the owner of the caravans explained me how to get in there, but it was really complicated. We were reaching there at around midnight and by that time, no one would be there. But I was happy with it as the price was affordable. And we kept going to our destination.
Few kms before reaching the place, there was an accident! My friend hit a kangaroo! It was really sad as the Kangaroo was dead on the spot. And the bumper of my friend's car was crashed. We placed the dead kangaroo away from the road and carried on.
And finally there was a gravelled road which the lady was talking about. We turned left to that road and kept going for the "SHOP" sign somewhere. We didnt even know the exact distance. We kept driving and driving. It was really dark and scary. We stopped at one point and thought of driving back to some another place but again decided to keep driving forward. After few minutes, we found the sign and there was a small driveway.
The shop was closes but there was a room with the lights on and barely open door. There was no lights around which was a bit troublesome. We went inside the room. There were many shelves. But there was no key. We had to find the id for the locker and get the key out from the locker. After we got the keys, we open a big gate. Beyond that gate, we could see nothing. All we could see was trees and small driveways. It was like a big jungle and there was one narrow way. We took our car there and after some turnings, the road was separated into two ways. Now we were so helpless. We took left first , but found that we were going nowhere. So we came back again and went the other way. After few minutes, we finally found a group of people camp-firing there. We were so relaxed after we saw them and they helped us to find the caravan. I've never stayed in a caravan before so it was a good experience. And the next morning, when i woke up, i never thought that place was such a beauty! It was so different than the terrible night before. And we went for fishing and stuffs which was really awesome!
If you have a free time, I would suggest you to stay in a Caravan in Marion Bay. Its a great fun and specially when you have a big groups and camp fires. :)
