29/9/11 and 30/9/11 Streaky Bay

Streaky Bay was named by Matthew Flinders. The light reflecting from the sand and the seaweed in the water causes the colour which gave the bay its name.

We travelled around the Cape Bauer Loop. We came across a cute stumpy tail lizard who probably didn't enjoy being made into a film star.

Cape Bauer is a spectacular landscape of huge broken cliffs and sand dunes with low coastal vegetation. 

A special point of interest are the blow holes and whistling cliffs.  When the waves surge in they force the air in the under ground passages worn in the cliffs to escape through narrow holes at the surface with  a great whoosh and a steams-like spray, like the sound and vapour of an enormous whistling kettle . 

The pelicans sit in the bay near the caravan park waiting to be photographed (and fed).
