Fowlers Bay Great Australian Bight


Saturday 9th March 2013 - Tuesday 12 March 2013

When we left Perlubie we said goodbye to the high tides and the Egyptian beetles that seemed to love our camper trailer.  There was another Cub camper down the beach which they were also attracted to, where as the Rippons did not seem to get any.  Apparently these beetles were only in SA but are migrating west.
 

 

After stocking up at Ceduna we into made our way to our next camp spot,  Fowlers Bay.  We camped in behind the sand dunes and the kids had a great idea to get the skim boards and slide down them.  They spent hours doing this and had a great time.

 

We took a 4 wheel drive adventure into the town of Fowlers Bay.  After getting stuck in the sand a couple of times and taking a couple of wrong tracks, we were shown the way by a local.  We took the alternative route over some amazing sand dunes and after getting stuck yet again we decided to let our tyres down.  After we did that it was smooth sailing and we made it into the town.  We had lunch and the kids spent an hour or so jumping off the jetty.  We then went back to the camp site for some afternoon drink and nibbles.  As this camp area had one of the best set ups for street tennis the older boys had a great time competing in the father/ son challenge which will continue for the rest of the trip.
