Day 31 Fri 10 Jun 16, Streaky Bay SA, mainly fine and sunny, 9 to 18 deg. Lovely quiet night with no wind or rain. A pre-dawn 5km walk out to Cape Bauer under cloudy skies started the day. After a hot brekky we headed out to Point Labatt 50km south along the coast to do some sea lion spotting. On the way we stopped at Calca an abandoned settlement which is slowly crumbling due to the weather and vandalism. Reached the windswept Point overlooking the sea lion colo...

Day 30 Thurs 9 Jun 16, Port Lincoln to Streaky Bay 302km, windy with showers 11 to 18 deg. Another night of wild windy weather, would have blown the dog off the chain! It's times like these we thank goodness we have a weatherproof and solid van, not a tent. Got underway at 8am under ominous looking skies. Rain on and off (mostly on) for the first 170km, which was at Elliston where we pulled in for a cuppa. The local info centre building was a real work of art, fu...

Day 28 Wed 8 Jun 16, Port Lincoln SA, weather in a word, windy, 9 to 17 deg. At least it was sunny most of the day. A wild night in PL, with rain and wind gusts rocking the van. Finally got up at 2:30am and pulled the awning down as it was rattling and threatening to detach from the van. First up in the morning Greg took the BT50 in to have the locking bolt on the tow bar re-attached. The new tow bar had been installed in Hervey Bay when we bought the truck so we...

Day 28 Tues 7 Jun 16 Port Lincoln, early sunshine changing to a cloudy but fine day, 10 to 17 deg. Looked ominous all day. A walk at sunrise along the foreshore started the day. Not so cold with the clouds hanging around. Got brekky out of the way and then on the bikes to explore the city. First went and checked out the very busy wharf area, with its massive grain silos that service the equally massive broad acre farms that go for 100s of kms on the Eyre Peninsul...

Day 27 Mon 6 Jun 16, Port Augusta to Port Lincoln, 347km, cloudy 7 to 16 deg. On the road again this morning, heading South this time down the Eyre Peninsula. As we'd stayed hitched up last night leaving by 8am was easily achieved. With all the wild weather over on the East Coast, Tassie and even as close as Adelaide (where we left just yesterday) we are counting our lucky stars that it was fine with a light breeze when we left PA. However that wasn't the case fo...
