Monday 26th - Sunday 1st November
Once again head winds greet us this morning, I cant believe it blows this hard in one direction for so many days. The WA/SA border is about 80k away.
The SA - WA Border
Really hard drive again, stopped at the Roadhouse just into SA, luckly didnt need fuel, super expensive again
Nullabor Roadhouse
Standing on the edge of The Great Australian Bite
Arrived in a small town called Penong (300k for the day) and went to the only C/Park in town, was great to have power and a hot shower, watch TV and have phone and internet. Penong's ground is white from Gypsum and the town survives on mining Salt, Gypsum and Wheat.
Tuesday after leaving Penong, an hour later we were in Ceduna, did a shop as we had just been through the fruit fly inspection, so hardly any food left. Onto Streaky Bay, great little town, could have stayed there a while but I was on a mission to get to Whyalla.
Left the scenery across the Nullabor ..... Right looking out from Streaky Bay
Some great small coastal towns but we camped on the side of a cliff 5k below Elliston... windy windy still.
Wednesday set off for Port Lincoln, on the way called into Coffin Bay, hardly any shops, but lots of houses, mostly holiday shacks, sure would be good fishing here, great fishing facilities and lots of pro boats out.

Lunch and a few hours looking around Port Lincoln, another great coastal town,
Over looking Port Lincoln and a small part of the massive fishing fleet
then up to the lookout and took the tail wind (at last) up to Cowell, tiny C/park and again good to get a hot shower and creature comforts.
Thursday morning, off to Whyalla about 80k north, arrived mid morning, did shopping and got some fishing gossip, then headed out to Point Lowly 30k north to a camp ground, set up camp and not moving for a week.
Camped at Point Lowly could stay here a month
Great spot, clean toilets and cold shower all free. We spent the next few days fishing and a few repairs on bus. We have eaten Snapper Whiting and Calamari everynight since arriving, nice
