The Eyre Peninsula

Travelling down the Lincoln Highway, we decided to go off the beaten path and head to Murinnie Beach. We drove 40kms down a red dusty corrugated road, across farmland. Emu's and kangaroo's running/jumping in front of us. There were about 6 fishing shacks there with permanent residents. A very tidal beach with mangroves.
We moved on the next morning and headed to Cowell, got a few provisions and headed out to Port Gibbon for 4 nights. The weather was fairly rough, so we were in the bus quite a bit and caught up on reading, crosswords and backgammon.
Headed to Lipson Cove, beautiful white sandy beaches and dolphins galore, but once again rough weather.
Down to Port Lincoln, home of the really big Great White Shark.

Enjoyed 3 days of eating seafood, not caught by us.
Coffin Bay Oysters at Coffin Bay
Blaming lack of fish on the wind.

Now heading up the Western Eyre Peninsula towards the Nullabor, chasing some surf and fish
