When all the chores were done, we went on the Cape Bauer Loop Drive, which meandered around a small peninsular that was unspoilt & lovely. The dirt road wended its way through farm land but was always close to the sea & alongside breathtaking coastal views.
We stopped to look at some blow holes, known as Whistling Rocks, where the sea undercuts the cliffs & forces its way upwards through weak areas in the rock. The tremendous power of the ocean was evident as this occurred & we could hear a roar every time the water rushed into the hollow holes. A board-walk took us quite close to the action, where a fine spray settled upon us as we watched the impressive scenario below.
On our return to the town, we did some food shopping & took the Pajero to a car wash (more chores - by this time, we were feeling holier than thou!)
We had a walk after dinner to watch the sun set & to look at the lovely everlasting flowers that were growing wild around the bay.
We were impressed with Streaky Bay & decided to stay another night. The caravan park is excellent & the area is relaxing & devoid of crowds.
