Streaky Bay is a favourite place for Ray and I. We first found it when my sister Fiona was living in Whyalla and we came over for a visit and continued our holiday around the Eyre Peninsula. It is a small town with a great community. When the hotel was going broke, the community got together and bought the hotel. Now it is a great place for a drink and also has a fantastic restaurant.
After crossing the Nullabor we decided to come here for a few days. Terry and Sue came with us. We arrived here last Wednesday and it was pretty windy. We went to the hotel for tea on Thursday night, the courtesy bus came and picked us up and took us home. On Friday we decided to drive out to Point Labatt to the sea lion colony. We stopped at a beautiful lookout on the way overlooking Surfers Beach. We took some photos of the sea lions and then drove out to a place called The Granites and Cape Blanche.

We then came back to camp and had our last happy hour with Terry and Sue as they were heading for home on Saturday. We have had a great time with them especially over the past few weeks. We will definitely catch up with them again in 2012. Thanks guys for your company. We will miss you.
Today is Sunday and it is a lovely day. There is a minimal breeze blowing so we took a run out to Cape Bauer. As the sun was shining the water looked fantastic. There were plenty of boats out fishing and people on wind surfers and jet skis.
