It was time to leave Streaky Bay so we headed back up to the Eyre Highway and then went east.
SUNSET AT STREAKY BAY
The weather quickly warmed up and by the time we got to Kimba SA had decided that was far enough for one day. Kimba is apparently exactly half was across Australia!? It is a lovely little town and I enjoyed spending a night there...It was particularly nice that it was soooo quiet that we could sleep with the windows open !!!
The next day was forecast to be even hotter (40+) so we decided to make an early start to beat the heat. At 6am we were off and heading toward Port Broughton (one of the first beachside towns on the York Peninsula that we would come to) We had a drive around the town and weren't happy with the shallow manky beaches so called our friends Geoff and Jill to see if they could offer any advice....their advice was to continue on another 50km south to the town of Wallaroo!!!
About half way there we realised that we were heading directly into a thunder storm!!
THE THUNDER STORM
It was a very big, loud storm and we had barely plugged the van in and got set up before the rain came. It lasted for quite a while, and was hovering right over us. I definitely felt more vulnerable being in a caravan than if I had been in a house, and Sammy was very unhappy about it all.
The caravan park is right on the beach (again!) and the view is absolutely spectacular. We will be using this as our base to further investigate the area in the next few days. There is plenty to see here and I am looking forward to it.
I also want to send out a BIG HELLO to our granddaughters Sharni and Jess. Big hugs to you girls xx
