Day 107-109 Coffin Bay/Port Lincoln

We left our lovely Streaky Bay and travelled south heading for Coffin Bay. On the way we did a scenic route around Elliston. This cliff top drive had sculptures dotted along the cliff faces. The one above had this boat and also an painters easel all set up. The coast line was spectacular and hardly a car in sight.
Not bad sculpture, this impressed with the islands in the background.
Coffin Bay was a pleasant enough spot, but the national park was outstanding. This shot is taken from the mainland and as you can see you could almost walk over to Golden Island, the currents, colours and waves were entertaining. 
We had decided not to stay in Port Lincoln, so spent a very pleasant day down in the area...we went to Boston Bay Winery (great Riesling)to the harbour, saw the marina full of tuna boats, had lunch on the boardwalk (tuna & mulloway), got some supplies, then off to Lincoln National Park.
Still doing the twitching, a Stephen is still trying to step on the wildlife.  This Black Faced Cormorat was just sitting in a rock crevis, check out the green eyes!
