Wednesday, 15 September
The weather today has been just like the previous couple of days We only travelled 112 kms today from Ceduna to Streaky Bay – good road and easy driving through grain farmland.
Streaky Bay is a nice little town which is probably very popular during the summer. The large, sheltered bay would be ideal for fishing – evidenced by the numerous fish cleaning stations in the caravan park. We are staying at the Foreshore Tourist Park and as the name suggests, it is absolute beachfront. The sites are dirt (not gravel) mainly due to the severe water restrictions. However, the amenities are good and the jury is out on the adjoining kiosk after they sold Les Monday’s paper this morning!!!
This afternoon we drove around Cape Bauer, again with large grain paddocks and some very pretty yellow flowers. Although they are most likely weeds, they did look pretty and make a nice change from the never ending cape week. We stopped for a look at the limestone cliffs, listened to the rocks whistle as the sea forced air up the chimneys in the cliff, waited (without success) for the blow holes to blow and walked on the Kevin Rudd Memorial Boardwalks.
This has been a nice little overnight stop and we are now starting to count the sleeps!
