Whyalla 15/2 - 16/2

This was our first impression of Whyalla, our first caravan stop on the Eyre Peninsula. It is an Iron Ore factory on the waterfront and all the roads and land around it all have a rusty colouring from the factory dust.



On the other side of the hill is this lovely coastal view.



On arriving at the caravan sight our impressions of the area improved when we realised that this was the view from our caravan.



The bay in front of the caravan was also lucky enough to benefit from a beautiful sunset.



We drove to Point Lowly to view the lighthouse and came across this friendly reptile who happily posed for a photograph.



The locals come onto the bay by the caravan site with rakes to search for rather large blue swimmer crabs, which bury themselves just under the sand. Jayne walked cautiously across the sand and through the puddles to ensure that she kept all of her toes.



After a day of 40 degree heat the weather again decided to show us how variable it can be and we had another beautiful sunset over the bay, but this time it brought with it some unexpected sheets of rain.
