Eyre peninsular...it's a secret..

Monday 03/11/08 Streaky Bay to Port Lincoln
Set of out of Streaky Bay around the headlands, but too much dirt for the girls to handle, so set off on the bitumen road to Port Lincoln. Stopped in at Venus Bay for Petrol, cuppa Tea Luv, and a picture of the bikes on a fishing pier, Geoff had been hanging out for this since seeing the opportunity the previous night in Streaky, only problem was we couldn't turn around at the end...strange looks from a couple of fisherman..."does the ferry go from here" says I, reversing the caravan as gracefully as possible.
Venus Bay was gorgeous, beautiful scenery of bays, islands, sandbars, that magic aqua water first seen in WA.
Stopped at Talia Caves and Bay for a look then onto Elliston for lunch.
Scenery changed shortly after, riding over desolate limestone hills dotted with the occasional sheep and then about 40k before Coffin Bay went back to rural with large stands of gums flanking the roadside in lush green grass filled meadows.
Stopped at Coffin bay fuel, oysters and then Tea (No beer at the shop sadly). Learned how to shuck our own oysters by the locals and then after more chat, followed there advice and headed out to the park.
Coffin Bay NP was for me one of the most beautiful places I'd seen so far, great little windy road up and over sand dunes carefully giving quick glimpses of the scenes ahead. Took a left to Golden Island and all of a sudden we were on the coast, scenery was spectacular, endless white sand beaches, Limestone Islands, wild seas, beautiful bays and the same crystal clear azure water.
This place (Eyre peninsular) seems a bit of a secret, no backpackers or international tourists and very few Australian tourists except South Australians ! It was a great tip to come here!
Went on the 30 odd kms to Port Lincoln, camped down on the water, checked the bike out after having a little front wheel speed wobble, for Geoff to discover one of the nuts at the bottom of my front forks, (holding the wheel on) had vibrated loose....nice one..
Then headed into town to the Pier hotel, for "scotch on the rocks", fillet steak with Oysters kilpatrick...another tip from a coffin bay local...who says hairy bikers can't live it up occasionally, Geoff on the other hand was dreaming of 2 minute noodles..... :-)
