Eyre Peninsula

Days 78 – 81 ,Saturday 28 August – Tuesday 31 August.

Up early Saturday morning and drove via Streaky Bay to Sceale Bay. There we caught up with a friend that Ness walked the Camino de Santiago with a while ago. After a great lunch and catch up it was back into the ‘Rok for the drive down the West Coast of the Eyre Peninsula to Port Lincoln. The weather became increasingly dreadful : hail, rain, poor visibility and 40- 50 kmh winds. Arrived safely in Port Lincoln to a lovely Air BNB house , tucked Bernie into the carport and relaxed.

Sunday we explored Lincoln National Park – beautiful! A highlight was a Southern Right Whale who choose to loll around in the water a few 100 metres off shore. Nice , but have to say the Right Whales are nowhere near as spectacular to observe as the Humpbacks we have been seeing. Kinda like 80 tonnes of Whale just floating aimlessly on the tide .

Monday we drove out to Coffin Bay National Park, via a water front Seafood Restaurant in the Township for lunch 😋.

Into the National Park and we observed a large pod of dolphins surfing and playing in the surf at Almonta Beach.

We also saw dozens of Emu, including a Father with 1/2 dozen young emu chicks. One Emu demonstrated a love of the water in a road puddle in front of us.

Then it was onto Yangie Bay for a walk .

Tuesday dawned and we left Port Lincoln. Drove up the East Coast of the Eyre Peninsula via Arno Bay and Cowell. Arrived in the Clare Valley for Tuesday evening.
