Well here we are in Ceduna. It is really a lovely day, the breeze has come up but still lovely. We only travelled about 100km or less today. We were checked to see if we were carrying any fruit or veggies as we came into Ceduna. Ceduna has grain, gypsum, salt, mineral sands and  fishing  they have oysters here but I am not an oyster lover  It has a lovely new Foodland where we were able to stock up on fruit and veggies. We went for a drive round and had a look as we didn't do that last year. t

This is the grain silos here.

A view of Denial Bay which Ceduna sits on.
The town before Ceduna is Penong. It is only very small but is known for all the windmills it has. What they have done is put lots of mills onto the one water stream as water was hard to get. Seeing all the mills is quite impressive.  Tomorrow we move on a little to Streaky Bay.

We are in Streaky Bay tonight. It is very beautiful. We travelled about 150km but 50 or so of that was sight seeing. We went out to Cape Bauer after we dropped the van. It is quite lovely. We saw Hally's beach.
The caravan park is right on the foreshore. We're about 20 metres from the waters edge.

I am most envious. Have driven from coast to coast twice but both times in a hurry so no stopping to take in the breathtaking scenery. It's nice to see pictures and is helping me scheme potential crossing for myself :)
