Nearly home

Finallly across the Nullabor we were delighted but exhausted when we pulled in to Streaky Bay. We had it on good authority from the Grey Nomads that it was a lovely spot and they were right as usual.

We splurged on a cabin, spread out and cranked up the heater.

Streaky Bay is essentially a fishing village and provides services to the surrounding area.

The locals advised us not to swim beyond the row of bouys we could see from the beach.

They say there is a resident white pointer shark in the bay.

That is why they have this pool off the jetty.

After dark in the freezing cold, we tried our luck jigging for squid. Again they eluded us.

Never mind, maybe next holidays!

Denham Shark Bay

This is raggeddy old us camping at Denham in Shark Bay. The white stuff on the ground is crushed shells. It was soft underfoot and didn't track into the tent, amazing stuff.

From our site, the kids kept a close eye on all catches being bought in for cleaning.

And were proud to clean their own catches!

Sunset over the fish cleaning station from our camper.

The local jetty. The kids fished here nightly hoping to catch squid on brightly coloured jigs. No luck unfortunately.

We were lucky to see a dugong grazing on the sea grass beds from the jetty. ( But not lucky enough to get a photo)

The pristine waters around Shark Bay were stunning.
