It’s a very slow morning today, a cool breeze blowing sun rising over the water it’s a pretty spot.

We wander along the coast, on Gulf View Dr and the Coastal Track, to Point Lowly. This is also part of the Freycinet Trail. A very picturesque coastline, and although industry is built in a couple of places along this coast there seems to be an effort to protect and rehabilitate coastal habitat and vista.

We have lunch at Whyalla, what a surprise this city is. I visited this very industrial town nearly 50 years ago, and the industry continues, but so does tourism and recreation. You can gauge the value of a city by talking to the locals. We met one young lady at the Information Centre born in Whyalla and has no intention of leaving, it’s a city located on a beautiful coastline with harsh but beautiful saltbush mallee plains and hills at its back, the town is a worthy of a visit as so many love to live and visit here.

There is plenty of history to explore in this town, the heavy industry here playing a major part in past wars, thankfully the guns are silent now, let’s hope it always stays that way.

We continue south making camp at Redcliff campground, a quiet campsite on the coast, which is a mixture of pure white sandy beach, dunes and rocky headlines. There must be marine life as there are plenty of Pied Cormorants perched on exposed rocks. There are flowering Mallee beside our camp and the trees are blessed with New Holland and Singing Honeyeaters and a Willy Wagtail is on duty patrolling the campground.
