WELLINGTON west to VICTOR HARBOUR thence north to ADELAIDE.

This in general, western route to Victor Harbour .. then north to Adelaide (though we travelled it in the
opposite direction) has few camping spots (which we found) and is rather vague towards the Adelaide end.
It is dual lane sealed.
Note. In general, roadside parking is only signed when it's on your left side. Not sure why, but guess to stop
one crossing to the other side of the road against oncoming traffic. This means, however, that parking spots on
the opposite side of the highway, to which we travelled, may be missed in these notes.
