Streaky Bay

We have a great location in the Streaky Bay Foreshore Tourist Park, our site is waterfront, the rear of the caravan is just about on the beach. We have been able to set up our chairs right at the back of the van where we sit back and look out across the bay, our first day here the weather was just perfect. The last couple of days have been quiet windy again, but at least we have not been too cold still wearing shorts and tee shirts. It has been nice to be able stop in one place for three days and catch up with washing and replenish our food stocks, as when coming into SA (Ceduna) we could not bring in any fruit or vegetables. The township is within easy walking distance from the park so yesterday we ambled along the beach and into town, not a lot open on a Sunday but we did manage to get a coffee with scones and cream, this made the walk very worthwhile.
Today we did the Cape Bauer Loop scenic drive which took us out to the Whistling Rocks and Blow Holes, after walking about 10 mins down a boardwalk we were able to see and hear the sea as it crashed against the cliffs and the air that was pushed up the cracks in the cliffs had a whistling effect, but unfortunately did not see the blow holes working. This afternoon we have been subject to the occasional rain squalls and only able to fit a walk around the park in between showers.
