Streaky Bay
We arived safely at Streaky Bay on the 12th of April after a 5 day trip across the Great Australian Bight, We arived with Azure. We stayed there for 4 days. The track into Streaky bay is a bout 20nm in and it is well worth the trip.
Photos are courtesy of Azure as at Middle Island Tracy fell out of the dingy with the camera!!! and guess what it does not work any more.
The township is lovely and definitely a tourist town. We did our laundry, and restocked pur provisions. Paul discovered that fresh oysters were available at $6.50 a dozen and was in absolute seveth heaven.
I was quite disappointed that there were not bands heralding us in after our great achievement having arrived safely accross the Bight, so we all went out to the local pub and celebrated with a meal and drinks instead.
Mum and dad rang and said they they were coming to Streaky but had decided to go via inland, so we missed them and hope to catch up in Adelaide on their way back to WA.
Streaky Bay is a lovely quite bay with well protected waters from all directions, There is a great old motor museum that has all the old single deisel engines that where used in lighting plants etc,
(Good internet coverage with CDMA)
