Streaky Bay

Streaky Bay

We have settled in to our work routine in Streaky Bay and are quite comfortable.  The weather is very comfortable and predictable – whatever Perth gets we get 2 days later.  Our site is great with beautiful views across the bay every morning from bed and the sea is different each day.  The lady next door feeds a few dozen will ducks and it is cute to see them paddling past in the sea each morning and evening.  The work is easy and still interesting with a full stocktake required in a store larger than ours was. There is a lot of tidying up to be done and the staff have been receptive to new ideas so that makes it easier.  It was very different seeing a deposit on our bank statement for a change.

Last weekend we took a drive out along the coast on the west side of the Eyre Peninsula.  The views of the cliffs were good.  One area we went to was called The Granites.  The Nullabor Plain and most of the Eyre Peninsula is limestone and it was interesting to see a cove around a large intrusion of hard grey speckled granite with interesting bands of black stone running through it.  The tidal rock pools in the granite were very pretty with different sea plants, fish, and crabs in them.  We only caught one fish and gave a bit of tackle to the rocks and it was hot with no shade but still a fun afternoon.

 We look forward to another weekend exploring the peninsula.

there is still quite a lot of seaweed washing in at this time of year.
