Streaky Bay was a nice spot to base ourselves to explore the surrounding bays on the western side of the Eyre Peninsula.
We did a lovely day trip yesterday and saw a mixture of long sandy beaches, steep cliffs, rocky waterholes and famous surf spots. The coastline is a lot more arid this side of the Nullarbor!!
The seal colony was a highlight, watching them loll around on the beach and rocks from our viewpoint at the top of the cliff. Dolphins too 🙂
Just a little inland is Murphy’s Haystacks – a strange collection of granite rock formations the middle of farmland.
Back at camp, we had beautiful sunsets both nights, with streaky clouds to match the town’s name.
We would have spent more time here – exploring, swimming and surfing, but have decided to head to Port Lincoln today to base ourselves for Christmas. It is hard to believe it’s Christmas Eve!!
