Venus Bay
After Sceale Bay, Venus Bay was an absoulte paradise. It is a very pleasent bay with well protected waters from all directions, houses (no gardens -dirt due to lack of water) and a general store. The owners are very nice, Pam and Ross and we spent time chatting to them. The general store is very modern and has everything ou need including beautiful meals and they also have a bottle shop. Much better presentation and stock than Port Kenny general store. The township has a permanent popluation of 16.
It was a real adrenalin rush comming into the Bay as there were leads to follow to enable us to safely tranverse the breakers into the Bay. Azure and we celebrated this with a stiff scotch. Please note that the entrance is a bite tricky if the swell is over 3 mtrs so be carfull if you come in but once you do its worth the visit.
The Bay is well protected and you can hear the ocean over this small penisular. A great view from the top of the townsite showing the spectacular cliffs along the coastline.
Paul and I took the dingy over to Port Kenny to visit the main township, it is a country town along the main Eyre Highway with a permanent population of 60. there is a general store, post office and we had a delicious lunch at the Port Kenny Hotel. I just can not get over the fact that there are poker machines in these places.
