Kaylene Kirkpatrick has compiled an extensive list of things to see-and-do and points-of-interest around this vast country and is happy to share her hard work with fellow travellers. These lists are great for people who are not tech savvy.
Port Germein is just 6km from the turn off from Port Gemein Gorge Road via the Augusta Highway. It's also the home of South Australia's longest wooden jetty.
Primly located right at the top of the Spencer Gulf, Port Germein was once a very busy port exporting grain to Europe. It was not uncommon to see 12 to 14 sailing ships at anchor 800 metres offshore waiting for a good tide or berth at the jetty.
Streaky Bay is on the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia and in our opinion is a 'bucket list' destination for all Australians wishing to experience natures best. The area offers spectacular coastline, countless fishing opportunities, beautiful white sandy beaches and picturesque wonders formed by nature.
Although there are many great reasons to visit Streaky Bay, here are our top four that keeps us coming back to this destination year after year, after year.
Smoky Bay is a relaxed seaside town approximately 40 kilometres South-East of Ceduna. Access into this wonderful little town is via short eight kilometre bitumen road which leads directly to the Smoky Bay Caravan Park. The park is located right on the beach and within very easy walking distance to the jetty. The current caravan park owners are to be credited for the parks cleanliness and neat and tidy appearance; it a true credit to them
Haslam is a beautiful, small coastal hamlet in South Australia. It's situated approximately 32 km West of Streaky Bay and 31 km South-East of Smoky Bay, effectively right in the middle of both towns. Perfect for an overnight stop-over for those making their way east or west along the Flinders Highway on the Eyre Peninsula.
Access into Haslam is via the Haslam Highway, approximately two kilometres long and bitumen all the way. It boasts a wonderful history and a 251 metre long jetty, which is ideal for fishing and catching squid.
