Streaky Bay – Port Lincoln 31st October

Today’s drive was down the coast of Eyre Peninsula and the Great Australian Bight to Port Lincoln. I was most surprised to find that Boston Bay, where Port Lincoln is situated, is one of the largest protected harbours in the world and is three times the size of Sydney Harbour.
As we drove down the coast this morning and stood on the cliffs, looking towards the ocean, we realized just how spectacular the coast is all along the Great Australian Bight yet we go and marvel at the cliffs in Ireland. The beaches here are also beautiful and are a surfers and a fisherman’s delight.
We stopped at the Colton Bakery for some wood-fired bread. It is a road-side self-serve and the bread is delicious – very crusty. Look at the photo!
The caravan park is on the shore of Boston Bay so we have a great view. Will be here for a couple of days as we want to visit Coffin Bay and Lincoln National Park before we head north.
