18/9/12

We were not in a great hurry to leave Penong as we only had 74kms to travel today to get to Ceduna. Just out of town we had to stop at the Quarantine Checkpoint. The people were good and after a cursory check of our fridges we were on our way again. We stopped at the Visitor Information Centre and got a list of Caravan Parks. Mary-Anne and I bought stickers that confirmed 'We had crossed the Nullarbor'. We tried two parks before deciding on the Big 4 Ceduna Caravan Park.

After setting up we went for a drive through town. It is a very tidy town with lots of flowers and some beautiful Norfolk Island pines. We drove out to Thevenard and we stopped at Pinky Point to have a close look at Murat Bay and the nearby wharf. We followed the coast line back to Ceduna and the caravan park. We decided to use the camp kitchen tonight to cook tea but unfortunately so did about 20 others. We did meet an interesting chap called Andrew who came over for a few drinks after tea. There were a few flashes of lightning and some light rain during the evening but it did not spoil our night.
