Day 42 - Fishery Bay to Coffin Bay

No sunrise to be seen again today - oh well, had to stay in bed a bit longer.
Packed up and drove into Port Lincoln to top up the water and empty the Devils Suitcase.

Easy drive around the bottom of Eyre Peninsula, staying at Wangary, which is 20 minutes outside Coffin Bay, Mt Dutton Bay Woolshed camp ground which is next to a heritage listed old woolshed. Nice tidy camp with toilets, an expensive laundry, camp fees $20 pn and if you want a shower its $5 per shower.

We left Sandy at camp to read and sit in the sun while we went to check out Coffin Bay and have some lunch. Found the local pub and ordered seafood, unfortunately there were no oysters available - who would guess you couldn't get oysters in Coffin Bay (capital of Oysters).

Lunch was beautiful and the barman was on point with the service, he told us there was a great lookout only 15 mins away and if we wanted we could leave our Van behind the pub the next day while we went sightseeing, which was really nice.

Emu Park in Qld needs to import some Emus. This place has at least a dozen Emu's roaming around the main street, all quite happy and not worrying about cars or people.

Off we went for our little drive and were amazed at the coastline, in the National Park, so many beautiful bays and beaches, SA really is a special place and they look after their roads and public amenities.

Back to camp to assure Sandy we will be taking her for a drive tomorrow to keep investigating the Park. Wayne decided to catch some Squid down on the Jetty just in front of our Camp. Did well, landed 3 good size ones which will be used for bait....apparently.En savoir plus
