Port Lincoln - Streaky Bay

We had a great time exploring around Port Lincoln. We visited a Maritine Museum, Tumby Bay and Coffin Bay for swim. Marley got a nasty splinter in her foot from the Jetty but with the assistance of a local we got it out. We ate amazing seafood and met another family with 3 boys who are also doing an around Aus trip. Finny also caught a big crab on a hand line! He was super excited! The journey to Streaky Bay was not too long and we stopped to look at Murphy's Haystacks. These are great big isleberges which are granite rocks just sitting in the middle of a field. They were mistaken as haystacks hence the name. We arrived at the caravan park to 40 degrees heat! The kids played in the shade while David and I set up. I turned so red in the face that David was worried for my health and sent me for a swim with the kids. The water in the Bay is weird though because it only comes up to my knees no matter how far out I go. All the boats are tied up way off shore. Good for Finny though. We are off to find a REAL beach with waves tomorrow. Fussy kids I have. HAPPY CANBERRA DAY TO OUR ACT FRIENDS! Love the Thomo's.

  2. How's the exercise routine going Dave? Early morning is the best - great time of day and really good out in the country. Got a half marathon next Sunday (17 Mar) and am not in nearly as good a shape as I wanted to be. I'll let you know how things went.
