• Day 46 - Elliston to Streaky Bay

    June 15, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    On the Move again, turned off to Talia Caves, Crater and Beach, we drove past the first 2 spots and went to the Beach. Beautiful long, clean beach, heaps of birds. Different rocks along here - smooth rather and rugged.

    Wayne had a fish in a couple of spots but no luck, nice just being in the sun on the beach. Had lunch at the Crater (actual name 'The Tub'), massive hole in the cliffs which apparently the water still comes in at high tide.

    Then to the Cave, I went down the 76 stairs (Wayne looked after the Van) haha. The water was crystal clear and the rocks smooth. The whole area would be so lovely in Summer when you could swim, way too cold for us.

    Next stop was a coffee at the foreshore of Venus Bay, small fishing village with a Jetty and a couple of Trawlers, not much there so kept going. Drove past a few places that we will come back to.

    Checked into Streaky Bay Caravan Park right on the beach, calm water, tons of Pelicans - much to Wayne's annoyance, he set up on the waters edge for a fish but the birds were bussing him. Saw a pod of Dolphins out in the bay herding bait and having a feed.

    The Sunset was spectacular. No wind here so had a fire on the beach.
