      Port Lincoln & Coffin Bay

      8. mai 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Today we headed for the popular tourist destination of Coffin Bay. Along the way we dropped into Point Boston and then onto Port Lincoln which is the unofficial capital of the Eyre Peninsula.
      Both places would have looked better if the sky had been blue as that would have changed the colour of the water, but today remained overcast and the clouds caused the water to be a gray colour.
      Some shopping and lunch in Port Lincoln before completing the short distance to Coffin Bay. As we left Port Lincoln we stopped at the famous Fresh Fish Place to buy some fish for our future dinners.
      On arrival the initial impressions of Coffin Bay were very favourable with the small bay and surrounding hills creating a very attractive landscape. We will stay here for 3 nights and have a good look around this popular place. We signed into the Discovery Coffin Bay Caravan Park which is always booked out but fortunately Sue and Mark had made a booking for us about a month ago. It was housekeeping time with Carolina pleased that at last we had power, water, and laundry facilities available to do a lot of clothes washing while Peter set up and cleaned van.
      Coffin Bay is famous for its oysters and tomorrow we will indulge. For today a twilight walk along the coast whet the appetite of the sights Coffin Bay has to offer.
      For anyone who has been trying to follow our trip using the Garmin tracking link we apologise that our Garmin InReach satellite tracker and communicator which has been working flawlessly for years unexpectedly failed a few days ago. We think the problem has now been fixed and the Garmin link for our trip should work normally from now on.      Les mer

      Coffin Bay

      21. oktober 2017, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      Very happy to have 4G coverage at Coffin Bay after the very slow 3G at Elliston made working tedious. Finished off some design work, then checked out the beautiful bays around the area.

      Decided to do a tour of an Oyster Farm which turned out to be a great afternoon. Incredible how labour intensive these operations are...no wonder oysters are expensive. Even got a shucking lesson, oyster tasting and of course bought a dozen to take home.

      We said our goodbyes to Robert & Karen with an early 50th birthday lunch for Marg at a nice restaurant overlooking the water. We will miss these guys as our travels take us in different directions, but lifelong friendships have been made.

      20. november 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      This morning we took ourselves on a hike along the Oyster Trail, 6 km of beautiful scenery and a great way to exercise.

      The we headed out of town to check out farm beach. A nice little spot just north of Coffin Bay and a windy walk included.

      To finish the day some oyster and gin tasting at Oyster HQ 🍸      Les mer

      After traveling a great distance (48km) 😜 we arrived at our next stopover of Coffin Bay.

      How do Oysters have sex?
      Do they change shells and upgrade?

      From the second question through to the 20th about Oysters... I couldn’t keep responding via Google so I (Fryzie) sent Kez on a little tour hoping all her questions will be answered in life.Les mer

      A quick check in to see if we could tow BIG MAX, our caravan in... definitely not. Scrub and low trees everywhere. No chance but could stay at Yangi Bay Area at the beginning of the track in. Tomorrow we’re going deeeeeeeep! To Sir Isaac Point.Les mer

      We stopped at Woolshed Cave and Greenly Beach on the way to Coffin Bay. Eyre Peninsula continues to surprise and delight. At Coffin Bay we had a dozen natural oysters with a nice glass of Riesling - superb!Les mer

      At Last the Sun Shines!

      10. mai 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

      To date our trip through the Eyre Peninsula has been met with overcast and rainy conditions. However that all changed today when at last the clouds cleared and the sun came out. And what a change this made to the sights around Coffin Bay! Suddenly the blue water opened up the views and the true beauty of Coffin Bay was revealed. Glass smooth blue water, lots of islands and peninsulas, and scenic views that extended as far as the eye could see.
      So today we started with a long walk on the Oyster Walk, a tourist walk that winds its way around the Coffin Bay town. We were restricted to how far we could walk because some of the walk went through the National Park where of course dogs are prohibited.
      We then returned to the car and took a very scenic drive into the near hinterland of Coffin Bay on some gravel and then 4WD tracks through the length of the long peninsula that runs opposite to and across the bay from the township of Coffin Bay. The 4WD track was a bit rough in places but finally took us into a small beach directly opposite the town.
      On the way back we came across a pig farm (yes it did smell very much like a pig farm!) which featured a small cafe and pork sales shop. It was unusual so we dropped in for a cappu and bought some pork to put on the BBQ sometime during the next week.
      Then we caught up with Mark & Sue again, left Chanel in the caravan, and took a drive through the National Park. Wow, what great views we saw!! Long sheer cliffs above blue water, secluded beaches, picturesque islands just off the coast, and all the time being aware that there was nothing south of our position out past the Great Australian Bight until you reached Antarctica! From time to time we came across emus, kangaroos, even rabbits. A really pleasant drive with great views!
      After a very pleasant day it was time for another dozen oysters washed down with some vino before heading to the local pub for a fish meal. Life is so tough when you are on a caravan trip….
      Coffin Bay has been a very worthwhile stopover full of lovely views and some surprises. Tomorrow we leave here to head further west on the Eyre Peninsula.      Les mer

      Oyster Country

      9. mai 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

      Coffin Bay is famous for its oysters. The natural oyster of the area was harvested too much by the aboriginals of the area and over time disappeared, so the Pacific Oyster common in other places in Australia was brought in and is now the oyster type farmed here.
      Coffin Bay is the first place we have ever seen an oyster vending machine!! Select the number of oysters you want, whether you want them shucked or closed, pay your money, and the are dispensed for you!! You can even select a shucking knife as an option!!
      The weather today was cloudy and some rain. Very unpredictable. This cast a dampener on the day because the lovely views we had expected could not be seen at their best with the grey water colours. We saw a family of emus who wandered around the caravan park, and we drove around town during which we saw an unusual house with all sorts of metal sculptures outside. We had thought about taking an oyster boat tour which goes out to some of the oyster beds where you don some waders, and then pick your own oysters for eating later. The boat did operate but we decided the weather today did not really suit this type of trip.
      So in oyster country what do you do if the weather is not good? Of course you eat oysters! Our oyster feast began when Mark and Sue brought some for us to share in the afternoon outside our caravan. The oysters needed to be opened so Peter and Mark did the shucking while Sue and Carolina did most of the eating! Together with some wine, the afternoon bad weather blues disappeared at the same speed as did the oysters and wine - decadent but very enjoyable!
      Having partaken of an oyster afternoon it was then decided to head to the Oyster HQ restaurant nearby. The plan has been to have some more oysters, but then we saw the seafood chowder! Amazing! So with some more wine to wash down the food we had some seafood chowder and some extra tapas for a lovely dinner. A very pleasant way to end a day in Oyster Country.      Les mer

      Oyster way

      27. november 2021, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      It is still overcast and windy. We went to Port Lincoln for provisions this morning. The sun was trying to come out as we returned. I paid another visit to the Bayroom in Port Lincoln. Love this shop. Bought two pair of very expensive socks.....but still! Bit riskay!
      I bought enough food hopefully to do us until we get home....let's see
      This evening we walked the oyster path again. The weather had improved, although Ian was still suffering from that shoulder pain.      Les mer
