We are on the move again, as usual last out and I mean last out, all 10 of our neighbours had departed before we took off. This mornings walk revealed one only kangaroo track the beach and not many birds. So we are now heading north again which means that we have sand dunes on our port (left) hand and green fields either side.

First stop was the Woolshed Cave, so named for its size and shape, about 30 kms along the road and about 10 kms of unsealed road to the actual cave. It was quite spectacular but the most impressive thing was the surrounding rocks, they were well worn striped pink and white mixed with the usual weathered limestone. We stopped at Venus Bay for morning tea, a very fresh looking town with lots of new looking houses and infrastructure. We also used the break to attend to a minor repair. Then on to feature called Murphy's Haystacks, which was a group of tall rocks just coming out of the ground without any surrounding rockery. It was on private property and despite the comments on Wiki Camp we decided that it was not suited to an overnight stay. So on the road again we noticed, as we have noticed on other occasions lots of dead and felled tress in the paddocks just left all over the place where they originally fell. It has also been noticable on this penninsula that all the towns are preceded by a sign board listing their attractions.

The next stop was Streaky Bay and we took the drive to Cape Bauer with a view to camping there. It was a rather spectacular place with cliffs and ocean views all around, but the cold wind drove us away. Unfortunately the wind has detracted a little from our stay on this coast.

Tonight we are camped, literally, on the beach at Perlubie Bay and have been assured by the other, more experienced campers that we are safe above the tide line. I have also been on the net checking and the next big tides are a few days away.
