Our visit to the Eyre Pennisula has been spectacular but challenging at times. The highway following the cliff's edge has had some awesome scenery with sea vistas interrupted by towering cliffs, surrounded by the sparkling Southern Ocean.

| Murphy's Haystacks - Perched on the top of a hill in the middle of nowhere are these rock formations known as Murphy's Haystacks. |
 |
| A close up - The granite rocks are up to 8 metres high. |
On our departure from Streaky Bay, the highway heads inland and we stumbled across Murphy's Haystacks, an outcrop of granite rocks. This is a photographer's dream.

| Coloured Rocks - The mixture of coarsely equigranular rock consisting mostly of quartz and orthoclase. |
The weather has played an important role this week, dominated by strong sea breezes and building a temperature that peaked on Thursday, 46.2 degrees. A record for us and a record for this part of the world. Fortunately, the oven like temperatures only lasted 24 hours. Any longer and we would have really suffered.

| Elliston Cliffs - Rusti poses for a puppy shot on the cliff edge. |
 |
| Fishing Fleet - Port Lincoln, famous for it's seafood, prawns, tuna and oysters. |
We have spent the most part of the week at Port Lincoln. On arrival a free camp perched overlooking the ocean and indulging in a personalised sunset. We were the only ones there.
We are now staying on Chris Pfeiffer's sisters' property for a couple of days which will give us enough time to sight see and take in some of the Tunerama festival which is on every Australia Day weekend.
