The Extra Mile

...and I called it Streaky Bay

So said Mathew Flinders when he entered the bay, way back in 1802. It's generally thought that the streaky appearance of the waters in the bay are caused by oils given off by the kelp that grows there.

 
Streaky Bay is now a coastal town on the western side of the Eyre Peninsula, in South Australia. It was  officially proclaimed in 1872 as Flinders, but referred to by the locals as Streaky Bay.  The name was finally changed in 1940.

There'a great variety of landscapes to see and explore in Streaky Bay and its surrounds. From farming country and almost untouched native scrubland to sandy swimming beaches, cliffs and surf beaches.

All this and more is to be experienced on a eight day adventure when you tour 'The Peninsular Coast'. For folks who want to to know where, when and how much - please go here.

Port Lincoln

It's known as Australia's 'Seafood Capital', a beautiful city that overlooks Boston Bay on South Australia's lower Eyre Peninsula.

 
Port Lincoln is an ideal base from which to explore the coast and hinterland of the Lower Eyre Peninsular. The surrounding ocean waters insulate the city, giving it a pleasant Mediterranean climate. It's lovely any time of the year.

It's just one of the many scenic places we visit on our upcoming tour of 'The Peninsula Coast'. Much more information on this tour and where it will take you can be found here.
