Cruising the West Coast

Port Kenny to Haslam

Day 20 was a total contrast to yesterday. We powered along thanks to no wind.

It’s been a relatively easy 108 km treadle from Port Kenny to the tiny beachside hamlet of Haslam.

From dawn to dusk it’s been a scenic day in the saddle rolling along the eastern edge of The Great Australian Bight. We called into picturesque Streaky Bay for lunch.

On the Flinders Highway at dawn. Very few other vehicles appeared for several hours.

We were awake early but the wheat loaders were awake earlier.

A friend did her Science Masters here many years ago. A study of the Bettongs which were introduced to an island here to protect them from foxes and cats

Dawn and the sheep flock are heading for the water troughs across a dusty, dry paddock.

Another vast paddock without ground cover.

Pier at Streaky Bay. Near where we had a lunch break.

Free Campsite at Haslam. Very close to the beach.

Today's ride: 108 km (67 miles)
Total: 1,765 km (1,096 miles)
