Mon 24th – Tue 25th May. Streaky Bay–Nullarbor Roadhouse

Monday 24th May

Fantastic start for the day.

 

Spending the day touring around Streaky Bay.  Some of the scenic tourist spots.

The stark cold beaches…

 

 

 

The Blow hole was great, the waves crash into the rocks below and spurt through holes in the top.

              

 

 

Coastal views.

 

Then down to visit the Sealion colony, surely a tourist myth… but no, they are simply sprawled out all over.

 

 

 

 

 

Then we drove back up the coast but the rain and wind set in.  It was 50km winds overnight and into the morning.  It is great to be in a caravan and not the roof top tent

 

 

Tuesday 25th May

Some Covid issues developing in Melbourne, as Paul and Kate were there recently and we have travelled through the edge of Victoria, we thought we better fast track it to WA… just in case they have itchy trigger fingers on closing the borders.

Dropped into Smokey Bay and picked up some fresh oysters, actually straight off the boat.. literally.  This will be a great evening entrée.

.Longish day that looked like this…

 

Then camping out the back of the Nullarbor Roadhouse.

 

 

 

Just finding out that WA have instituted border restrictions starting 6pm tonight for anyone who has been into Victoria in the past 10 days (this means us as we transited Victoria by going through Mildura).  When we cross the border tomorrow we must get a COVID test within 48 hours and isolate ourselves throughout until a negative result.  At least the border remains open.
