Streaky Bay is a great and relaxing little seaside town. We stayed at the Foreshore Caravan Park, which has a good playground and was right on the bay.
The girls made friends very quickly and spent all their free time playing with them.
On the first day when the tide went out you could walk out a long way as the bay is very shallow. Emma found a starfish left behind.
We took the tourist loop which took us to the blowholes that didn't blow even though it was wild and woolly weather. A short walk from the blowholes took you to the whistles which were whistling loudly. Also on the drive we stopped at a rocky and steep look out where we saw a large group of sea lions that inhabit the rocks. There were 30 or more sea lions swimming and enjoying the sun. We also visited the haystacks which are rock formations formed by more than 30,000 years of erosion. The land used to be level at the top of the rocks!
On the last day we visited the shark display. In 1990 a man caught a 5 ½ metre shark. At the time it was the largest shark caught on a rod and reel in the world. The display is a replica of the actual shark.
Day 7 we hopped in the car and spent the day driving to Port Pirie.
