Streaky Bay

Streaky Bay Jetty

Streaky Bay is a good base for exploring the coastline or the inland of national park (Flinders Ranges). It also has few supermarkets for stocking up before you go into the outback. We tried some fishing off this jetty too, but to no avail. A kind family gave us some crabs and tommy ruff herring they caught~ So good, now we don't have to worry about our dinner =P

There are few scenic drives recommended around this town which are really good. We started with the Cape Bauer Drive which takes about two hours.


Cape Bauer*****

The Westall Way Loop***** is the more interesting drive in our opinion. But if you have time, both is a must do. There are camping grounds in both drives, fee is applicable but works on the honesty system. So. . . up to you if you want to pay =)


 The Granites - The rock looks like some kind of animal



The Smooth Pool***** which is very good for swimming as it is protected by the reefs so that sharks could not swim in! It's also good for snorkelling, too bad we haven't bought the snorkelling equipments!

We chose to camp at Speed Point (cause its 'free'). No facilities there at all, just sandy grounds so we had to bring our own water. Some hike down the hills brings us to this beach. Not a single person here =)

Campfire at night, aahhh... so warm~~

 Point Labatt Sealion Colony*****
It's a long way in, about 12kms of dirt road. But still accessible by 2wd. This picture is actually taken from a hilltop view about 50m high. So it is quite far from the colony, best to bring a binocular to observe them.
