Moving across to Port Lincoln a much bigger town than we have visited for a while, yet another fisherman's paradise.

Moving on southward down to Coffin Bay.

As usual top notch launch facilities.

 Oyster farm boat coming in.

Next overnight stop after Ceduna was Venus Bay,ie the SA version not Vic. Another delightful sheltered foreshore campsite.

 I guess if your hungry enough then you cn call it an emergency.

We spent 3 days looking around Ceduna.

Bulk ship loading facilities at Thevenard just out of Ceduna, loading grain and gypsum.

 Leaving Ceduna behind we headed south down the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula. 

This side of the peninsula is series of beautiful, sheltered bays one after the other. Smoky Bay, Streaky Bay, Sceale Bay, Elliston, Venus Bay and quite a few more ending at Coffin Bay.

Stopping at Streaky Bay for lunch then did a couple of loop tourist drives and had a look at the back beach side of some of the bays.

Walking down to a place called the Whistling Blowholes.

Stopped for fuel at Norseman then continued on eastward to cross the Nullabor. A very long and boring drive. One stretch of road is 140 kms dead straight. Stopping for the night at Cocklebiddy caravan park. Very basic, but we had a good social gathering of fellow travelers sitting around the campfire.
Up early next day, long drive to stop overnight at Eucla, almost on the border of SA. Very cold, windy night, so into bed early.

Some pics around Eucla.

Old telegraph station gradually being buried by the sand dune.

 

 Next day we drove on eastward, with the road very close to coast, stopping here and there at coastal lookouts.

Moving on we found a nice free bush campsite just west of a little town called Nundroo.

We have covered quite a big distance fairly quickly as there is not a lot to see, very long stretches of straight road with no trees or hills or even shrubs, just a low ground cover, boring indeed.

Finally arrived a Ceduna and moved into a beachside caravan park, with the best facilities so far.

Beautiful coastline around here, and a fisherman's paradise. When the wretched wind stops.

 Frazer Bay

 Called in at an oyster farm just out of Ceduna at Denial Bay and bought some oysters for $8 per dozen fresh out of the water that morning. 

Oyster work boat.

 Went for a short drive yesterday to have a look at some local bays including Déstree Bay and Laura Bay.

We left Kalgoorlie a week ago, headed south down to Norsman, on the way we stopped briefly at Coolgardie township for a look around.

  Some history here with a museum in the main street.

Below is a machine called a winder, This is the winch which is used to haul ore and equipment in and out of the mine.

 Who is old enough to remember these?
