Streaky Bay, South Australia




We've now been in Streaky bay for 3 days. Because the weather was so bad when we got here, the decision was made not to go further, but to wait for the wind & rain to ease. Yesterday was so bad it was deemed to be a 'Doona Day', so we just stayed in the warm. Today is a little better so we took a trip out to Point Bauer. It's wild and woolly shoreline, with many rocks & cliffs - and very beautiful. Because the wind was so strong, we almost had to lean against it to stand in one position.
Yesterday we ran into Kedron owners, Tony & Katy Francis. We met them originally a few days ago in Port Lincoln National Park, and then again heading into Coffin Bay. They are now here in Streaky Bay as like us, are slowly travelling westwards.
Tomorrow we're off to Ceduna to do a bit of shopping, and wait for the weather (in particular the wind) to ease off so that we can begin the run across the Nullarbor without a head-wind.
I'm not so sure about this 'winter' stuff, but the travelling itself is just pure fun. A least the van's diesel heater is getting a good workout.
