Streaky Bay to Elliston

Hello all,
After leaving Streaky Bay i started heading towards Port Lincoln. The Eyre Peninsula is not very Camping friendly, with No Camping signs everywhere, and the Caravan Parks jammed in like sardines. Most Coastal Caravan Parks the vans awnings are up against the caravan next to it.

 

Streaky Bay

There are several scenic drives around Streaky Bay, so I decided to take drive, all the back roads over here are Limestone and clay capped and aren't all that corrugated but rough all the same.

This place is called High Cliffs - I wonder why?

On the way to Sceale Bay to road follows the cliff tops for quite a way before heading through magnificent pure white sand blows.

 I couldn't believe how everyone is jam packed like sardines into the caravan parks but get out of town to see the scenery and there is hardly anyone to be seen.

 It was onwards to Murphys Haystacks, weathered Granite outcrops on top of a hillside.

After a quick look at Venus Bay and seeing the only Caravan Park packed like sardines I pushed on to Coodlie Park Farm Retreat. I got the impression the place was run by Hippies but the Campground was Rustic and quiet and only $10/car. Two large thunderstorms passed during the afternoon, bringing heavy rain.

 It was a complicated shower that day, first turn on the battery pack, which ignites the gas hot water, next fill the bucket, next transfer hot hot water into the shower bucket, then pull the rope pulley system to hoist the water up above head.

The next morning, after the storms I awoke to a heavy sea fog which persisted well into the day which added an eerie look to the Coastline.

 Onwards to the Coastal Drive at Elliston, most of the lookouts here have sculptures.
