Streaky Bay - SA

19th November - 21st November 2014

We arrived in Streaky Bay and after setting up we all decided to head down to the town pier.  It was a hot day and the pier had a swimming enclosure and everyone was keen to do a bit of crabbing.  The swimming enclosure had a pontoon in the middle which was great fun for all the kids to jump off! When they got a bit more courage they all started jumping from the pier, even 4 year old Jasmine Moar!  This seemed to be a popular pastime for the local kids as after school finished, about 30 teenagers appeared and did the same thing!  We did also catch 6 blue swimmer crabs!

The scenic drive around Streaky Bay passes a place called "Murphy's Haystacks".  There are huge paddocks with massive rock formations all through them.  Our next stop was the Sea lion viewing platform.  This was a favourite of mine, watching these amazing animals playing and frolicking in their natural habitat.

It was schnitzel night at the local pub, so all families caught the courtesy bus and had a great night out!  

Our next stop is Coffin Bay.
