On leaving Speed Point we went through Venus Bay, Elliston and down towards Port Lincoln but there were places to see on the way. Our first stop was at Murphys Haystacks which were in the middle of wheat and barley growing districts and on private land.
They are inselberg pink granite rock formations that got their name because a traveller saw them in the distance and thought they were hay. The farmer was named Murphy so they became known as Murphys Haystacks.. The huge overhanging dome is about 8 mts high,they are very cool.

One of the largest rocks
We went on to the Woolshed Cave which is often described as a grotto or cavity as the cliff has eroded away sandstone rocks by the ocean and wind.We were really impressed with these as the rock colours and the rock pools in tub or round holes in the sand were so interesting.The water was also so clear and there was so much marine life.
