The Journey Continues
“Go left!”
“Go right!”
“Don’t turn around!”
“Keep moving!”
No, these are not indications that we have given driving lessons to Caleb, but the recurring cries coming from the driver’s seat as Ev negotiated the vehicle down the west coast of the Eyre peninsula on a day in which lizards and snakes had decided to sunbake. Having already left one in many pieces on our last day across the Nullarbor, Ev was determined not to repeat the dose. She does, however, suggest that there are now a few stumpier-tailed lizards than previously known in this area!
The highlight of this day was a visit to Coffin Bay, home of oysters which make their way on to dinner plates around the world. When I emerged from one of the fishing sheds with nearly two dozen oysters, obtained for the grand sum of $5, you could have lit the whole peninsula with the gleaming smile on Ev’s face. After eating about a dozen or so, the smile had diminished somewhat, her stomach filled and her taste buds satiated.
We discovered once again how small the world can be. When we pulled into a petrol station at Port Lincoln, who should we bump into but a young couple we had camped with at Tulki Beach at Ningaloo! When we booked into the camp site, we then found ourselves next to a NZ couple we had met a couple of days earlier!
