The wind has not been kind to us since we entered the Eyre Peninsular. Constant 20/30knot winds, the locals say they have experienced 3 good days out of 2 months. It makes it difficult when we are trying to camp on the coastline. Still, a cold beer fixes everything. After filling up on crab, we left Fitzgerald Bay and headed south to a spot called Redbanks. It was a good view, but did it blow~! Quickly left there early next morning and found a fantastic camp just 20 mins down the road. Nobody else here, we happily parked up. Cape Hardy Beach has lovely white soft sand with clear blue water. We all had a fish and caught some whiting. And then the wind blew again. So we decided to move on the next day and explored Tumby Bay. It was a pretty big town but really no where to stay that was in our budget, so onwards a bit more to a lonely old camp on a beautiful white sand beach and again we were the only people here until late in the arvo. Then the wind blew again!!!

Cape Hardy Beach. The dirt is richer on the Eyre than the York Peninsular.
6/03/12 This is Redcliffs, where we are tonight. It is a religious camp so we have hidden our beers. $20 a night. We are moving on tomorrow. Yes the wind is blowing a gale!
