Day 4 - Iron Knob to Streaky Bay

And now we can slow down - to truly enjoy this place! The method behind the madness that was our 4 big days of driving was to get here, and then take our time travelling around the Eyre Peninsula. So as soon as we arrived into Streaky Bay and parked our vans beachside, we pulled up our chairs on the edge of the beach and just chilled. This is what it's all about!

The day started in Iron Knob as usual and thankfully, the sun was shining and the wind had finally abated. We were on the road just after 9am, but stopped just 89km up the road for fuel and early morning tea underneath this amazing silo art.
Back on the road for some easy driving, stopping for lunch at the surprisingly sizeable town of Wudinna where most of us responsible adults had some lunchtime exercise on the jumping pillow in the park!

We're truly in the desert now, although there are still plenty of farms and many of them are harvesting at this time of year. The beauty of recent rain is also the emergence of Sturt Desrt Peas, these amazing red flowers.
We arrived into Streaky Bay just on 3pm and enjoyed the warmth for the rest of the afternoon. Entree was some lovely fresh seafood from the Oyster Barn kiosk and then Jude cooked us a delicious pasta dinner before we retreated inside as the wind started to pick up, content in the knowledge that we don't have to set an alarm in the morning!
