| Jetty at Haslam Beach |
Haslam Beach Free Camp (well almost @ $5/night) is 32 Km north of Streaky Bay on the western
side of Eyre Peninsula – we planned to stay one night on our way to Venus Bay
but stayed three.
Not much here but a small un-serviced camp area (room for
about 20 vans at a push) and a 100 metre long jetty close to the camp.

| Lots of squid rings here! |
Like all the Grey Nomads
staying here we were soon down at the Jetty hoping to catch a King George
Whiting or a squid. No KG’s but 20 squid – yummy!

| Linda' big squid |
We met some great folk camped nearby and were invited to a
seafood cook-up on the Friday night. Fresh Salmon Trout, Herring (Tommy Ruff’s
to the SA folk) and skipjack trevally as a mains and Linda’s fresh fried squid and
Julies kilpatrick oysters as an starters. This is what travelling is about - good food, good company and a roaring fire!
On Saturday morning the local oyster farm guy pulled into
the camp after tending his lease and was selling a baker’s dozen of gigantic
oysters for $7. Oysters a half hour out of the ocean at $7/doz – he did a
roaring trade. Oyster on the menu again tonight!
Off to Venus Bay tomorrow – more fish and oysters!

Good to see the squiding got better. Looks bloody cold over that way.
