Cowell to Clare.

We first headed to Kimba and found that there would have been some decent accommodation there if we had arrived there last night as planned. Visited the op shop and bought a few things. Kimba is home of the giant galah, and at the  town lookout there are scrap metal figures - Eyre and guide.  Next stop was Iron Knob. We drove around here and took photos of interesting things with the backdrop of the mines. Next we went back through Port Augusta and on to Quorn for lunch and a look at the old buildings and streetscape which has been used in many movies. We continued on to Clare stopping in Wilmington, Gladstone and Laura.

Whalers Way (Part 2) - Port Lincoln to Cowell

After spending more time than we expected at Whalers Way, we went back to Port Lincoln for a late lunch. Then we headed up the Todd Highway to Cummins and Lock and took the Birdseye Highway to Cleve. Due to lack of accommodation we decided to go to Cowell on the coast for the night, even though we went through there on the way down. Added extra photos of Whalers Way.

Whalers Way

Around 9am we headed out from Port Lincoln to Whalers Way, a 14km coastal road with incredible coastal scenery. As it is on private property we had to purchase a permit and be let in the gate at the start of the road. We saw crevasses, blowholes, SA oldest rock, rockpools, sand dunes and rocky cliffs galore.  There were no railings at most sites, even the ones with sheer drops. Very scary. We spent about 5 hours on the unsealed road stopping at every marked spot.
