Day 101-106 Streaky Bay

We drifted down from the windy Fowlers Bay, through Ceduna and Smokey Bay and ended up at Streaky Bay. We managed to get a beach front spot with shade and great neighbours. 
Unfortunately, I had developed what was called a wry neck.. not sure of the spelling, or as Stephen called it a pain in the neck. Basically I could not move my neck at all and it was extremely painful. Ended up at the hospital, but managed to find a good masseur which helped. We therefore spent a few more days than originally intended, but in doing the area slowly (for my necks benefit) we fell for it.
The coast line and the scenery was outstanding. With rough seas, limestone cliffs, tranquil bays, it's an area not to be missed.
We visited the Sealions at Cape Labatt, which was all I could do.... we had intended to swim with the Sealoions at Baird Bay, but the neck put pay to that. These creatures were a joy to watch, doing bog laps etc.
See what I mean about the scenery.
This is one of the Murphy Haystack's , in the middle of no where is this collection of Pink Granite rocks... the colours are magnificent.
