Today was a little different to yesterday.

We started off heading south onto the Eyre Penninsula where we will spend, probably the next couple of weeks. At the same time the other motorhomes in our camp headed off in the same direction, they are heading to Albany for  CMCA rally and will also spend time here. They are friendly enough but we are not included in their little group. I suspect that as we cross the Nullabor we will meet up with a lot more motorhomes heading to the sane place. We have stopped at a place called Point Lowly which is about 9 kms north of Whyalla which in turn is famous as the site of the BHP iron ore refinery. Where we are are there is also an oil refinery using shale from Moomba. On the way in we were stopped by a train heading north carrying products from the steel mills, pipes, girders, etc. So here we are for the first time since the beginning of August on absolute ocean frontage. Admittedly the ocean is the Spencer Gulf but that is close enough. A walk round to the lighthouse on the point revealed that both Mathew Flinders and Freycinet visited here at the beginning of the nineteenth century. It also provided a nice view of the refinery and the 2.4km jetty that services it.
