6 MONTHS ON THE WALLABY

STREAKY BAY TO PORT LINCOLN SA

Streaky Bay, at the start of the Eyre Peninsula, was lovely.  We stayed in a caravan park right on the water.  A few guys went fishing to the Back Beach.  They came back to the park and were cleaning their fish which were mainly salmon.  A few of the guests, us included, plus some pelicans and seagulls, went to watch.

We decided to drive to the Back Beach.  We wanted to fish but the weather was very windy, again.

Thought you might like to see a photo of a disappearing fence I spotted when walking back to the car.

When we left Streaky Bay, and on the way to Port Lincoln, we stopped to see Murphy's Haystacks.  These are rock formations.  Amazing.

After taking lots of photos we drove on to Port Lincoln.   Again we found a park right on the water.

We really enjoyed our visit to Port Lincoln.  On the foreshore there is a statue of Makybe Diva.  The real horse is owned by a Pt Lincoln guy who made his fortune from tuna. 

As we were staying at Port Lincoln for 3 nights, on one of the days we went to Coffin Bay.  We were told they have the freshest and cheapest oysters.   Jill and Barry had their flask with them so we stopped by the water for morning tea.  It was lovely.  Then we went and bought 2 dozen oysters for Arnold.  They had just been harvested that morning.  Arnold said they were the best he had ever tasted. 

We then drove back to Pt Lincoln.

We will leave Port Lincoln and drive to Whyalla, with a few stops along the way.   Bye for now.
