Tractors and Mice






















This was the theme for the west coast of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula - tractors towing boats down to beaches and a serious mouse plague in Ceduna! After beautiful Sheringa Beach we stayed one night at a busy caravan park in Venus Bay and did some washing then headed to Streaky Bay. Along the way we stopped off at the bizarre granite outcrops called Murphy's Haystacks and dropped into Elliston for some fishing on the jetty. It was raining in Ceduna but we ended up spending the day having a UHF radio and antennae installed and a new TV aerial as our current one was lousy and we thought it would probably be something we'd need to replace before we sold the van (and we needed to get organised for the World Cup!). In the evening we drove the short distance to Perlubie Beach and were reunited with our friends from Farm Beach. It was another gorgeous South Australian beach but this time we were in mouse plague territory. We spent the next two days swimming, fishing, boating and relaxing and the next two nights catching mice - 14 in one night! Time to get out of here and head to Western Australia!
