Eyre Peninsula

At the Eyre Peninsula the outback

Meets the sea

In sometimes rugged coastline

With massive dunes

4WD required

There are also some kid friendly beaches

Where we swam

And snorkelled

And hung out with the locals

And some friends

Once you get to the end of these jetties

The fishing is good!

We also collected razor fish (clams)

Which were plentiful at low tide- and yummy!

Port Lincoln is a tuna town and here is a local celeb (probably Dean Lukin) chucking tuna. Apparently this is a favourite past-time down here and you can win 12K in the annual tuna chucking contest!

Of course we had to visit the local tuna farm and as luck would have it ‘Getaway’ were filming on that day, so no charge to us – plus 15 minutes of fame! Look out for the Port Lincoln show soon.

So which guy is the host of Getaway- this good-looking guy with no shirt?

Or this guy with the good looking shirt?

These fish are massive

And tricky to hand feed

Josh was first in

But we all got in eventually

Chloe was brave

The touch tank

There are also some weird rocks on the Eyre

Weird lizards (including these shinglebacks which are a biting version of the blue tongue).

And weird giant seagulls (don’t worry about your chips – these things will take your finger off if you give them half a chance)
