Lower Eyre Pen. cont

 As you can see I am slowly catching up my blog on our travels from last year.

After 2 nights in Elliston and no Fish!!! we wandered on up the coast wiht the ultimate aim of getting to Haslam before heading back across to the Highway and making our way east again before turning north.

 By mid morning and that means a cuppa break we were at Venus Bay where we had our cuppa sitting on the sand on a samll beach near the wharf. We watched the antics of a group of pelicans  which were waiting in anticipation of same tidbits. This spot is really delightful, very sheltered with some great limestone cliffs  protecting quite a big bay.

As we were wandering on  from Elliston we  found an interesting area with names like the "Tub" and the " Woolshed cave" so we stopped and had a look at this interesting area wiht some different geological formations.

 The Tub turned out to be a sinkhole wiht just a narrow bridge of cliff between it and the sea. The sea doesn't flow in very much so the water in the bottom was very murky. The cliffs inside the rim offer protection for a number of birds.

Woolshed cove

 The way down to this cave is quite steep but  nice set of wooden stairs have been biult to make it easier to reach. There was a nice cove outside the cave and fortunately we were able to wander around quite easily as there wasn't much of a sea that day a nd no waves crrashing in.
