In South Australia now

This is a typical view of the coastline around the very lovely Eyre Peninsula.

We loved WA, but we knew we had arrived in SA when we went to an ordinary cafe in an ordinary town and ordered, and received good, strong, hot and reasonably priced coffee. Yes!!!!!

At the biggest protected fur seal colony in Australia, near Streaky Bay.

Murphy's Haystacks also near Streaky Bay. These are a unique outcrop of pink granite boulders (inselbergs) that are purported to be over 1500 million years old. The huge rocks, these are some of the smaller ones, occur in numerous places on the Peninsula.

These rather Stalinesque sculptures are the remains of a sculpture competition on the scenic ocean drive around Elliston. They look rather good against the picturesque backdrop of the rugged coastline and blue ocean.
