Day 117: Smoky Bay Rest Area to Streaky Bay
Today we packed up camp and headed the 70km down the coast to the Islands Caravan Park in Streaky Bay. We all agreed that the caravan park had the fanciest toilet and shower setup of any caravan park we have been too.
While setting up camp Theo discovered that Waffle (the crochet whale) had lost an eye. Until we could find a replacement eye Olivia offered to make him an eye patch. He looks pretty good now.
In the afternoon we headed out on the Cape Bauer Loop scenic drive. Most of the drive was on dirt roads, and with the late afternoon heat we saw lots and lots of shingle back lizards basking on and beside the road.
The main stop was at Whistling Rocks and the Blowholes. The tide was a little low for the rocks to be doing a lot of whistling, but we did hear it a few times. We spent a while watching the waves roll in below the lookout and shoot up through the small holes in the rock shelf. The next bay over from the Whistling Rocks had the Blowholes, but the tide was too low for action, so we had to settle for enjoying the view of the cliffs in the late afternoon sun.
We stopped in at the Streaky Bay township on the way home to walk out along the old pier and check out the cage swimming area before grabbing dinner.
