Adelaide to Streaky Bay (Day 2)

We have decided to blast across the country and then take our time coming home, stopping at the various tourist places that take our fancy.  Hence, we had another big day in front of us.  Adelaide to Streaky bay is a loooooong trip.  This time round, we have to do a few more stops than when we went to Darwin, because Henry needs a boob every so often and also it is impossible to feed him whilst on the move (unlike the other kids who are happy with their little snack boxed I make up for them).

In the arvo, we arrived at Kimba which was pretty much our first tourist photo opportunity.  Whilst Kimba isn't exactly halfway across Australia for us, it did already feel a loooooong way form home.  And we have so much more in front of us!

 In the morning, we ran the caravan park at Streaky Bay and booked in.  So glad we did, because i think we might have gotten the last powered site.  The park was packed and it isn't even close to school hols over here.  Lots of grey nomads though..... This is a great van park for the warmer months because it is literally on the beach.  The front sites all open up onto sand.  Depending on timing, we may be back here on the return trip.
