Eyre Peninsula

Our journey down the Eyre Peninsula continued with a trip out along the wild west coast to the Point Labatt Sea Lion colony. You peer down at the sea lions from high on a cliff overlooking  the rocky shelves and beaches where the sea lions congregate. It was  fun to watch the young ones play around while the big males just lie in the sun. We also visted Murphy's  Haystacks an interesting rock formation on the way to Coffin Bay.

We stayed at the excellent camping facilities at Yanga Bay where emus and wallabies wandered through the campsite. We four wheel drived further into the park and did more walks by the wild coast.

After a peaceful few days the weather turned wet and windy again. We headed into Coffin Bay town for a lovely seafood lunch watching the white caps on the bay and then closed the Domino's hatches in travel mode and bunkered down in the town caravan park as the rain and wind swept in. The next morning was slightly calmer so our Coffin Bay Oyster tour went ahead but was abbreviated to the closer bay. The tour was actually really  fun, we enjoyed putting on waders and getting in the water then eating some really fresh oysters with a few glasses on local reisling.

The forecast was not good for the next few days so we abandoned our planned stay in Lincoln National Park and instead went via Port Lincoln to Tumby Bay and stayed for a few days in a cabin. Tumby Bay is a nice small town and we day tripped back towards Port Lincoln visiting a Blacksmith museum and a Martime Museum and had lunch at The Boston Bay winery.
