Day 48 - Streaky Bay to Fowlers Bay

Sunrise was a bit of a non event due to the Rain. Pack up was definitely a wet affair but done very quickly. Going to do 250km today, so topped up the fuel at $197.9

We have now left the Eyre Peninsular and are officially on the Nullarbor. Stopped in Ceduna to pick up our replacement Inverter - thank goodness, can use Microwave and toaster...yes I know we are really doing it rough this trip.

Did a quick top up of food supplies, filled up one gas bottle, guy at the hardware was a little dubious - had never done a fibreglass cylinder. Lots of indigenous in town but no problems, I said g'day to those I past and they were friendly.

Drove past Panong and Smokey Bay but we will back track without the Van tomorrow. Turned of the A1 highway to Fowlers Bay, 11km sealed and 11km good dirt road, beautiful view coming into the bay. 24 deg as we were driving along, bring on the warmth. As we got closer to the coast again the temp dropped significantly....brrr

Massive white sand dune running along the coast protecting the little town of Fowlers Bay, population of 16. Staying at the Caravan Park right next to the 300m Jetty which is covered in Squid Ink. There is a viewing platform to watch for the Whales, too many white caps in the bay to see any today.

Hopefully the wind will drop in the morning so we can see lots of migrating whales.Leggi altro
