Surfleet Campground
Surfleet Campground is a very good camp located in the Lincoln National Park just south of Port Lincoln. I was supposed to be here yesterday but whilst filling my water tank at Coffin Bay I blew out my water level sensor and had to reseal it into the tank. The weather has turned fairly ordinary […]
Coffin Bay
As much as I have destinations, Coffin Bay was always one of them. Ever since I heard about Coffin Bay and it’s famous oysters I have had it on the list. Not only to visit but partake of its bounty. There really isn’t much at Coffin Bay except big fat juicy oysters. The vibe is […]
Point Drummond
I am running out of things to say about this Western Eyre Peninsula Coastline. Another camp and another awesome stretch of coast. This camp is not only awesome it is free. It doesn’t get any better than that. Even though a lot of these camps are several kms from the highway they are linked by […]
Sheringa Beach
More windy dramatic coastlines, numerous cliffed headlands interspersed with sandy beaches, very large dunal systems, low vegetation and always the southern ocean, huge, powerful and wild. Apart from the absolutely clear water I have also noticed a distinct lack of plastic flotsum on the beaches. This immense body of water is about as pristine as […]
Walker Rocks
I dropped into Venus Bay with no particular expectations and was immediately struck by the beauty of the place. The colour of the water had a few more shades of blue than even tropical Queensland. Before I continued my journey I thought I would do a lap around town and that’s when I came across […]
Baird Bay
So far I have been under-whelmed by Baird Bay. If you believe the reviews it is some sort of paradise. Just a shallow bay, a small holiday village and a very ordinary camp spot. Bur there is hope, I see toward the bay, breaking waves, Does this mean there are ocean swells and a real […]
Streaky Bay
Many of these Eyre Peninsula locations are strikingly similiar, I suppose the same as many East Coast locations are similiar. Quiet little towns set amid cereal grain cropping land, a jetty, grain silos, crystal clear water, clean white sand, no ocean swell and shallow sandy tidal zone giving way to the seaweed covered deeper water. […]
Perlubie Beach
Perlibie Beach is a very nice little place, a ‘donation’ camp down by the beach with views of Streaky Bay looking SW across Bay. This area is known for the availability of Razor Fish, a mollusc that borrows in the sand and are apparently good eating. I would love to try some. The news came […]
Smoky Bay
I originally checked out Laura Bay Conservation Reserve but no Internet there so moved on to Smoky Bay. Smoky Bay is just a sleepy little village south east of Ceduna, nothing special but it is what it is and that’s probably its attraction, being a sleepy little village. Its glory days was as port for […]
Wittelbee Reserve
So here is the current plan. I arrived in Ceduna 13th November and I am booked on the Spirit of Tasmania on the 13th December. That gives me 30 days to get from here to the ferry terminal. Generally I plan just to stay on the SA coast heading east. I may not get further […]
