We decided this morning to cut the trip a day short. We had planned to tour the steel works at Whyalla on Wednesday, as the tours only run on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. However we’ve all had enough of camping in the cold and with only roughly 1500 kms to home, we can easily get there in 3 days rather than 4. So Whyalla will have to wait for another time.
So, with that change decided, we headed on to Ceduna. Bill played the last 3 holes of golf this morning, one at Penong and two at Ceduna. Penong is home to Australia’s largest windmill, which warranted a photo.
His final score was 117 strokes – 45 over par. We went to the information centre in Ceduna where we found out that the average is 120 – 150 strokes, and the worst recorded is 469! Bill collected his certificate to go along with some of the other memorabilia we picked up at the roadhouses along the way.
We had lunch at the foreshore and then with the showers continuing, drove on to Streaky Bay for a bit of a look, and then on to Kimba for the night. We got in just on dark and cobbled a meal together from the items we had left.
I had bought a hot water bottle in Ceduna, so I didn’t have to go to bed in two pairs of tights and two jumpers tonight. Winning!
