Today we travel from Port Lincoln to Ceduna.

First stop is the busiest fishing port in the southern hemisphere, its actually Port zlincoln but we hadn’t seen it yet, its busy, big, expensive fishing boats, big expensive houses on the shoreline.

It’s a straight run to Elliston for a pit stop. Opp shop, toilet, then the big squid, well it isn’t really that big. This place is a bit of a surprise, tidy, nice protected bay, sculptures along a drive are well worth the effort. I take the drone for a little fly and don’t lose it and don’t kill anyone, that’s pretty good I think.

The next stop is Murphy’s Haystacks, a geological thing, for the keen geologist its  inselberg rock formations between Port Kenny and Streaky Bay. They are pretty prehistoric and are about 1,500 million years old.

Another pretty bay is Streaky Bay where we have lunch at a nice park above the town jetty. The weather is pleasant but there is a slight chill in the air. Some older guys on bikes rumble into the pub behind us, ” growing old disgracefully” I hope?

We drive on to Ceduna, the roads are straight and wide and I think they will only get straighter and wider the further we go. We find the visitors centre, get our Nullabor Golf cards and check into the hotel. Its a great spot right on the water, big rooms, view over the water.

The Nullabor Masters then gets under way. The winner of the Port Lincoln event declines to tee off, feigning fatigue, heart issues, words like ” I’ve nothing to prove”, you get the drift, but i won’t mention any names. Nearly everyone gets off the tee poorly. The Don’s Calloway clubs have a fair bit of  Ceduna mud on them, not much of it related to contact with a golf ball.

There is a lot of slashing, swinging and cursing, not a single blade of grass should feel safe, proving the golfer actually gets close the grass, and the ball, relatively important in the game of golf. Pauolo and The Don are in the club house tied on 2 over. Tomorrow sees another day, more of the Nullabor Masters later.

Tonight we eat at the hotel, the seafood is great, Jenzy and The Navigator are very pleased. Beef cheeks are poplular as well. The prawns are gigantic, its all really fresh. The sticky date pudding is a winner, the only criticism comes from Captain Kirk who feels the sauce is a little too runny.  A combined rating is 4.5 Spoons🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄

Ciao arrividerci from Ceduna
