This morning we get away by 8:20am. I feel sad for the kids as they run over to their friend's place to say good-bye, but their Mum gets out of bed to tell them that everyone is still in bed. Oh well, not much we can do.
Today is pretty uneventful, about a 390km drive to Streaky Bay. What a lovely spot. It is a small town and it seems that everyone likes it, as the sign out the front of the park says "No powered sites available tonight" and it looks like it has been sitting there a while. We go in anyway, just to see if there is a non-powered site available. Sure enough, there's the "in case of emergency" spot, which is a nice big spot out of the way, with our name written on it. They say it is not powered and has no water, but we fill the tanks and some people lend us an extension lead and we are in business.
This park reminds us a bit of Eighty Mile beach. Everyone here is booked in for weeks on end. They all have a boat each and there is notification of whose mail has arrived, on the front door of the reception. There is a bit more here though, a lovely little town with a couple of nice eateries, a chemist, two groceries, a nice pub, a fantastic walkway all the way around the bay and what beautiful scenery of the bay and the jetty. The colour of the water is beautiful and the resident pelicans spend the day on the beach pruning themselves waiting for the fisherman to come and clean their fish.
This afternoon we head out of town to the Whistling Rocks and Blow holes. Unfortunately, the blow holes aren't happening, but it is still worth the drive out. What a rugged coastline it is.
We really like it here and we have internet access so decide it is a good spot to stop, chill out for a bit, and catch up on some office work that I desperately need to do, bills still need paying unfortunately!!! This evening we buy some local King George whiting and crabs for tea and then, another family movie on our bed........the bed seems to be getting smaller!!!
