Set off for Whyalla - a few sprinkles on the way. Stopped at Cowell to check out another silo - no signs so you had to know it was there. This one had a camel and camel herder and a yellow ring neck parrot - they are just all so good. Right on the water at Whyalla but too windy to put out awning. Nice long beach, full of weed and a 2k walk out to the water at low tide. Even then the water is only up to your knees. Park is ok, not many here surprisingly as it's school holidays. Whyalla is renowned for the cuttlefish breeding which you can even swim with but of course we were out of season for that - story of our lives. They like the water to be 12 degrees - brrrrr. Interestingly they have blue blood, 3 hearts and can change their colour, shape and texture to imitate rocks, sand or seaweed. Went to circular jetty, the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere. Saw some dolphins - one came right up to the jetty and looked like it was checking us out. Went to Hummock Hill lookout with views over Whyalla and the Spencer Gulf. Also a restored wartime gun on display. Checked out Mt Laura Homestead Cottage built in 1922. Got photos of the mosaic cuttlefish seat, the quirky Flinders and Freycinet sculptures, the peace and harmony globe and sundial, the divers sculpture and the Eyre Hotel mural. Checked out the lighthouse at Point Lowly - the oldest building in the area. Headed to the beach next to the lighthouse, the main beach was too busy, and cooled off in the water. The water was beautiful - not cold at all. Had a game of table tennis back at the park but got kicked out of the games room cos is closes at 4.30??? Australia day while we were here but no celebrations cos of covid. Al got shots of the jetty all lit up at night. Drove 142k to Kimba with nothing to look at but scrub and a couple of water over the road crossings. Passed through Iron Knob, an historic mining town which looks very ramshackle with junkyard cars everywhere. Checked out the silo art on the six linked silos owned by Viterra. The wheat farms was the inspiration for this one. Painted by Cam Scale in 2017, it is over 60m wide and 25m high. Kimba is the halfway mark between Perth and Sydney. Checked out the big pink galah which will turn 30 next year. Drove to the Edward John Eyre sculptures at White Knob lookout. A tribute to Eyre as the first man to cross the continent from Sydney to the Swan River. Also checked out the town mural in the reserve.
