The morning was sunny, but still cold when we left Streaky Bay caravan park for the drive to Coffin Bay. There was very little traffic and it felt like we were the only vehicle on the road. For most of the drive on the Flinders Highway we passed huge sheep farms and roads turning off to lots of small towns on the coast.
Coffin Bay is a small fishing village with a thriving oyster industry and a population of 650, except in holiday season when it jumps to 2,500. We checked into Coffin Bay caravan park ($30 power and water) about lunch time and asked for a drive-through site as we only intended to stay over night. The amenities block was new and the best we have seen so far. Although the sun was shining there was a cold wind.
In the afternoon we did the Oyster Walk which took us along the foreshore with excellent water views, and through areas of beautiful flowering bush. By the time we arrived back at the van it was too cold to sit outside so we spent the evening indoors enjoying our new heater!!!
Cheers
