EYRE Peninsula #part 1 ⛱🗺☀️
Smoky Bay to Murphys Haystacks
Coming off 5 nights free camping along the Nullarbor, we decided to treat ourselves to a van park in Smoky Bay for two nights. It was nice to relax, a decent shower🚿 and give everything a good clean. It was nice walking along the beach and up along the jetty too.
After our 2 night stay, we headed off - eager to see more of the Eyre Peninsula. We left Smoky Bay and headed out to 📍Point Brown for a squiz. At the end of a long dusty road we were welcomed with spectacular cliffs and beaches. Can definitely see why this spot would be good👍🏼 to camp at in the summer! We walked down and saw the popular ‘smoky bay rockpool’. A wee bit cold🥶 for us to even think about going in for a dip.
We left Point Brown and headed down and around to Perlubie beach! Now what a beautiful spot this was🏖. We pulled up onto the beach with only one other camper set up. There were numerous beach shelters free, so we thought one night spoil ourselves and have a covered in veranda😉. We spent two glorious night camped up here!
At only $10 a night, beach camping & flushing toilets🚽 available, its not hard to see why this spot is so popular with fellow travelers. It was so nice, we even set up the camera and filmed our latest podcast here - ‘then & now’. If you haven’t already, check it out. We’ll pop the link at the bottom of this post 👍🏼
Well after our relax at Perlubie we packed up and set off early, headed into Streaky Bay. We parked up, grabbed a coffee☕️ from the local cafe and walked around the main streets. We so happened to park right across from the local op shop. 💁🏻‍♀️Now we’ve come to love op shops on our trip and tend to pick up great clothes.
After browsing for a while, we learnt that it was ‘fill a bag for $3’.🤩 Amz found a genuine RM Williams jacket & Kurt found a near new Industrie jacket. We grabbed a few more surf brand items of clothes and took it to the counter. We probably got items totaling a value of $250+ for a bargain of $3! You beauty👏🏼.
All chaffed with our finds we set off to drive the Cape Bauer loop road. We checked out some coastal lookouts🌊, along with some blowholes by the sea. The blowholes were definitely the highlight of the loop, providing a good 10 minutes of entertainment for us big kids😂. We returned to Streaky Bay and decided to top up with some fuel before heading off.
As Kurt was filling up⛽️, we noticed the Powerhouse museum was open - right across the road. Considering its only open 2 afternoons a week, we decided to go and check it out! So glad we did, it was amazing to see 100s of engines. Most restored and fully operational😮. While we were there, one of the volunteers started up one of the old engines which was cool. We happily popped our donation in the box, on the way out👍🏼.
Leaving Streaky Bay, we headed south. We detoured in and drove the ‘Westall Way Loop’ road. Another great coastal loop with some great vantage points and beaches🏖 to see. We then continued south to Point Labatt, to see the sea-lion colony. A great set up lookout with free binoculars🔭 so you could see the sea lions who were about 100m down laying along the beach & rocks.
Well after a busy day of sight seeing😌, we decided to head to Murphys Haystacks and camp for the night. The following morning we wandered around the Haystacks checking out the natural rock formations, which was pretty cool to see.
Even though the weather and temperatures🌡 haven’t been the best. We are thoroughly enjoying our time on the Eyre. Next stop; a detour inland to Wudinna & Gawler Ranges😉
