Walker's Travels in Scandinavia 2017 and others
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, fully painted with murals on the outside; very impressive. Arrived at Streaky Bay at 12:35pm. The fuel we used today was about half the previous driving day due to a hefty tail wind. The wind is good for something. SB has a great location for a van park, directly on the beach. Had lunch down on the beach amongst the seagulls and then wandered into town for a look. By this time the wind had dropped to a slight breeze. Nice little place SB, with a not-so-little jetty. Apparently last night a sizable motor cruiser had been ripped from its moorings by the wind and had come to grief up against the jetty. Looks like a very expensive mistake. Dinner at the pub tonight (that's what happens at home on a Thu night), spaghetti carbonara for Wendy, Chinese seafood stir fry for Greg. Very nice meal, a little more expensive than the Howard Pub meals but a little more "nice" too.
