Week 514 - Streaky Bay, South Australia

Our welcome to South Australia was extreme heat and strong winds and our overnight camp spot was perched on the edge of the Great Australian Bight at Bunda Cliffs.  Our photogaph depicts the remoteness of this Australian icon.  Not a peaceful night as the winds were howling.

Bunda Cliffs, South Australia - Bunda Cliffs
on a magnificent summer day.

Painted Dragon - These critters have got a 
magnificent camouflage. After I took the 
photograph and took my eye off him, I never saw 
another one, but they were there.

Our journey across the Nullabor has been steady but sure and on the seventh day we rolled into Ceduna.  Our motorhome's engine didn't miss a beat on the 1200 km across partly due to our engine management traversing this magnificent continent.


Penong, South Australia - A fascinating 
look at the powers of the past.

At Ceduna, we turned right onto the Flinders Highway, heading south into the Eyre Pennisula.  Unchartered waters for us and the scenery took on a distinctive arid look - sand dunes, red rocks and salt bush.


Haslam Jetty, South Australia - The sunset 
sets on another hot and windy day.

Our camp spot tonight is at Streaky Bay, a sparsely populated township that is frequented by seasonal travellers.  During the winter, this place would be deserted.

So to finish our blog this week, Horror has now completed 18 days of beer abstinence.  We went to the local sports club for a meal and he drank two pints of Lemon, Lime and Bitters (Yuck)!!! 


Endurance - My own challenge for the month 
of January was to abstain from alcohol.


Our travels continue, stay tuned!!

My new year resolution was to do a strenuous yoga workout every day in 2019. I went without alcohol once for a whole year, and it was just stupid. I took it back up again and have never looked back.
