Smoky Bay oysters near Haslam are the best.... we bought them shucked, but only $10 for 13 if you shuck them yourself. For.Derek I did them Kilpatrick, and I had them with Brie, and Natural. Two dozen went down well
We by-passed the crowds on Perlubie Beach, but bumped into friends we met in WA (that’s their van in the foreground) who had just spent 3 weeks here fishing, high tide had just caught many out during the night and were still bogged...the seaweed is a good indication of the tide mark
This is why you don’t stand on cliff edges...Venus Bay. Nothing holding this edge up
We took the Birdseye Highway across the Eyre Peninsula through lovely green grazing country side
Par Avion... what a mail box!
Beautiful huge tree just popped out of nowhere
Locke, it’s great to take a walk around the small country towns, they all have something unique to offer
Overnight at Cleve Weir free camp, the wheel house was open
The Aussie Book Exchange, a godsend to Nomads
Whyalla was the greenest I have ever seen it, it is normally grey salt bush and red dirt. Mt Laura Whyalla in the distance
Finally got to see my old house ...... it had been hidden behind a huge fence on my previous visits, sadly it wasn’t very tidy and now it’s all concrete, but still I have some great memories
The new Whyalla circular jetty was finally completed, but only the crazy braved the winds
We have to do the washing sometime, so visited windy Port Germain, and soon got the washing dry whilst we had lunch, can’t beat the view. Too windy to hang it under our awning, so tied it to the brick wall...
and a walk along the 1 mile jetty, that’s how far the tide goes out. We walked straight into the wind.
We wondered what this was about we have never come across this before.... it use to stand off shore in the middle of Spencer Gulf, and was used to indicate to ships how high the tide was
Moonta is the top end and start of 11 nights on the Yorke Peninsula
