19/9/12

We left Ceduna and drove towards Streaky Bay. On the way we stopped firstly at Smokey Bay. There we met a couple from Ormiston in Brisbane and chatted with them for a while. We had a drive around town and were surprised to find a sign that stated the town was established in 1978. Our next stop was at Perlubie Beach/Landing, a fishing settlement with a beachside camping area for $5.00 a night.

We left there and drove the short distance to our planned destination of Streaky Bay. We stopped at a beachside park and had lunch before driving to the caravan park and booking in. The caravan park is right on the beach and looks straight out onto Streaky Bay. After setting up I took the fishing rods off the roof of the car for the first time and sat on the beach and fished all afternoon. The tally at the end of the day was no fish and 5 cans of Emu Export Lager.

We bought fish and chips for tea at the Pelicans Retreat Family Restaurant in the caravan park. After tea Mary-Anne and I had a double ice cream cone each for dessert. What a great life!!!
