Fowlers Bay

After a long drive across the Nullarbor and mostly short one night stopovers we decided to stay at Fowlers Bay (on the North Western side of Eyre Peninsula) for 4 nights. The road into Fowlers Bay is 50/50 bitumen and dirt and was quiet OK for us and our van. We were looking forward to unhitching the car, putting up the annex and floor and having a longer shower.

Unfortunately Mother Nature discovered our plans and our first 2 days/nights were blown away by 50-80 Km winds.  On our first night we had an exciting time putting down our annex at 10:00PM before it blew away on the 60-80 Km winds – great!

Fowlers  Bay (when weather is kind) seems to be a quiet little town and would be a good place to chill out. The main attractions are the long jetty, numerous sand dunes to play around in your 4WD, lots of good surf fishing beaches (accessible only by 4WD), and great milkshakes at the one and only kiosk/shop in town.

The Caravan Park is situated across the road from the Jetty and although small and lacking water has a good camp kitchen and they light a fire in the communal fire pit every night.

Its a long jetty - but no squid today

Linda has been busily cooking up all of our vege’s as we off to Ceduna tomorrow and will have to hand in what's left at the quarantine check point.

Next stop – one free camp (TBA) and then a week at Venus Bay where hopefully I can get my tinny wet.
