The hotel at Streaky Bay
Stone cottage from the 1860s.
Murphy's Haystacks on a privately owned rural property. These giant pillars and boulders are over 100,000 years old. They are known as inselbergs - the German words for island mountains. They are situated on this property with a privately maintained gate and toilet. There is a charge of $2 per person with an honesty box. It is a very popular tourist attraction.
The wind was ferocious on the day we visited. You can see my hair being blown all over the place.
Little Bay at Elliston. It is a very nice sheltered beach.
The community hall at Elliston has been painted with an attractive all-over mural depicting local history.
Drystone wall which is a form of stone building without use of cement. It was a popular and cheap form of fencing dating back to the 1850s.
A view of Coffin Bay where we treated ourselves to some of their famous oysters. To be consumed as an entree at dinner tonight in the motor home.
Here they are. Delicious.
It is now fashionable to paint wheat silos. This was in the town of Tumby Bay where the community paid for an Argentinian artist, Martin Ron, to paint this image of two local boys jumping off the Tumby Bay jetty from a photograph taken by a local photographer. It is an unusual painting in that normally individual paintings are on individual silos whereas this one stretches over the three silos in a continues image when viewed from a certain angle.
The old railway station in Port Pirie which is now a museum.
The old post office. South Australia has some fine colonial buildings.
This charming photo of Pearl on the chair and Maxi below was taken at the camping place we stopped at in Bute. The two dogs got on quite well but Pearl is more of a comfort seeker than Maxi and they had their chosen positions/
