Venus Bay to Streaky Bay

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!! I only had 2 bots champagne, couple glasses of red and 2 beers. I had a slow day..
Look how far Denise has to walk out to get water deep enough to have a swim.. It was good for Billy practicing his golf as he never lost a ball.
Here we are again doing it tough at our camp site at Streaky Bay. Take note how far we have to go to get to waters edge. We had caught a good feed of blue swimmer crabs off the jetty.
This is a spa bath in the crystal clear southern ocean waters at Salmon Beach near the sea lion colony.
These are the lazy sea lions at Point Labbat doing what sea lions do best.
This is a beautiful walk around Venus Bay cliff tops. While we were here we caught whiting, heaps of squid and people were giving us salmon. We met some great people and they took the boys out fishing and Deb gave Dave the clues on filleting fish.
This is Dave out hunting and gathering for the family at Lochs Well. We had to climb down 305 stairs to get here and then we didnt catch anything. When we climbed to the top we could see a school of salmon cruising past right where Dave had just been fishing. Too bad, we had a beer instead of going back down again.

Eyre Peninsula Elliston

This is what we called Whale Rock as that is what we thought it looked like. It is actually known as Bird Rock at Elliston.
We are at Talia Caves just sth of Elliston. Dave is pointing at a huge wasp nest.
This is in the same cave only looking the other direction. It was a very pretty place.
We thought this was a pretty cool fish tank. But it was really a rock pool at Talia Caves.
