We have spent the last few days travelling around the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It's a very picturesque part of the world and I take back everything I said about SA being incredibly dry. Yes, bits of it are, but this bit isn't one of those. Rolling green hills all the way to the sand dunes and coast, dotted with sheep. We spent a night in Whyalla with friends and had an adventuresome morning with Tamara and the girls. Coffin Bay National Park was a wildlife wonderland....100 emus, dolphins, a show-off sea lion and kangaroos. Some beach driving added to the fun. We've since seen more sea lions - in fact visited Australia's only mainland permanent SL colony. There were about 60 SLs lounging, swimming, wrestling. So lots of great photo ops and fun things to try to remember.
Sceale Bay....near Streaky Bay...where we are staying now.

Emus everywhere in CBNP.

Our Whyalla friends. The littlest one locked us all out on the balcony you can see in the background. Super Jon shed his socks and did an amazing rescue which involved climbing over the balcony and round the roof. Our hero!
