Streaky Bay -Speed Point

We enjoyed our 2 nights at Ceduna and headed of down the Eyre Peninsula rather than just taking the highway straight across to Port Augusta. The area has many crop farms, wheat and barley and its coast fishing industry.
Streaky Bay was a good stop to visit the information centre to stock up on all the brochures for South Australia. The wind was rather strong and it was a challenge to find somewhere sheltered and we thought we had at Speed Point which was just about 10kms out on a dirt road.
We got all parked and set up, had lunch and then the sand started be very annoying and blow all around. It was gusting about 30kms and we knew it was going be difficult to find anywhere very sheltered so went for a long walk on the beach and came back and sat inside out of the wind until it did die down about 5pm when we could sit out in the sun again.Now we know why its called Speed Point as the sand speeds around!!!!

The pattern made by the wind and seagrass in the sand. They were like this all along the beach.

We certainly needed a shower and to give the van a good clean as the sand even found its way in through the fly screens. The joys of caravanning !!!
