Fishery Bay

Escaping the hustle and bustle of Port Lincoln we headed south to Fishery Bay, about as far south as you can go on the Eyre Peninsular. The campground was basically a bit of a carpark with a short walk access to the very popular beach. No internet access or phone coverage at the site.

Got some heavy rain on our second night here but nothing like what areas just north of us received where roads were flooded or washed away.
Met some very helpful council officers there who were planning out improvements to the camping area. One in particular took great delight in showing us some of the bush tucker that was growing right at our camp. Native cherries and currants are delicious snacks.Read more
