Ceduna


Tuesday, 14 September

The strong westerlies continued to rock the caravan during the night but did abate somewhat this morning. We did have some sunshine and I was lucky enough to get the washing dry between showers!

Ceduna is a major port for the large amount of grain grown in the district. The grain silos at the wharf are enormous. Fishing and eating are really the sum total of the list of things to do in Ceduna, apart from walking along the foreshore, which is very nice. The supermarket has only been open for eight weeks and has the friendliest staff we have come across. Certainly different to the unhappy girl working at Woolworths in Esperance! Unfortunately, the shops in one particular area of town have bricked up windows or the glass has been covered with tin. Obviously there is a bit of anti-social behaviour among the locals.

Apart from a walk after lunch, washing, ironing, cleaning and some shopping, most of the day has been spent reading and relaxing outside in the sunshine (when it was out) or inside watching the new arrivals.

I don't know that it was necessarily the locals. Those grey nomads can get very agitated when they run out of digestives and the shop is closed!
