Ambling down the south western coast of the Eyre Peninsula today stopping where we see fit... And the first stop is Port Kenny. A dead port if ever there was one...
So we are off around the bay (Venus Bay) to Venus Bay settlement. A very pretty place on the peninsula with the bay on one side and the Great Australian Bite - or Southern Ocean? - on the other side. Great views, nice village.
Continuing south east we regain the coast at Elliston off the highway, it is quite big, a town. Also some great locations and views to sea.
Through another bunch of inland localities - including the two houses at Mount Hope - we arrive at the Coffin Bay turnoff early... it is the dirt road shortcut... good gravel though!Soon at Coffin Bay. No free camps around here so into the CP. Nearly time for the Melbourne Cup so we will have a walk and look for a gambling den - don't have one; save money! Good walk for all three of us just the same. We will kick back and watch - no we won't got back as the race finished. Damn the time zones!
I know I am overdoing the panoramas... but they show so much - even if perspective is lost. So here are the alternate views of Coffin Bay foreshore.
There is a good looking take-away just across the road so we will indulge - after our walk around, and saving the gambling dollar.
PS: forgot to mention with the Nullarbor crossing... we have long given up counting dead kangaroos, but we did chalk up: one dead camel, one dead wombat and one dead dingo!!! Not personally! On the way down the Eyre Peninsula on the Flinders Highway, we have avoided running over literally dozens of stumpy tail /bob tail lizards. Many others were not so fortunate. Oh and missed one very lucky Black Snake!
