Eyre Peninsula - part 2

We spent a few nights at Coffin Bay - drove out to the National Park - as few nice beaches and off shore islands. Coffin Bay is famous for oysters... but as neither of us like oysters, we cannot comment on whether they are good or not. Brad had a go at fishing and managed to catch 2 King George Whiting - fresh fish for tea. They were nice, but we were going to buy some fresh fillets from Port Lincoln (in case Brad was unsuccessful in catching any) and were surprised to find they were almost $80/kg.

Visited Tumby Bay - on the eastern side of the Eyre Peninsula - a nice town with a jetty (all the towns seem to have a jetty), pretty cool silo art and a great bakery. Stayed at Cowell - another jetty, another silo art, and a million flies, not to mention strong winds all night.

Finally, we closed the loop and finished a half lap, arriving back in Port Augusta where we were in early June. We called into Whyalla on the way (you guessed it, another jetty - this one circular), but the weather had turned quite cold and windy. We move away from the Eyre Peninsula and start to explore the Yorke Peninsula.Read more
