Ceduna


The town of Ceduna is all about fishing and grain.   The grain terminal here is massive.   We watched one of the ships being loaded with grain for who knows where.    Everywhere we travelled we have seen fields of gold being harvested.    All thru the wheatbelts of WA and now SA.   Cant imagine how much grain is being grown and sold, in just these two states but its huge.      The town itself was Ok, probably a little nicer than I thought it would be, but quite small.   Not a lot of tourist stuff to do here, except buy and or eat seafood.   Lots of outlets for just that purpose.    We did a couple of "nice" drives, but they werent all that much. We have also filled the freezer with freshly caught fish, straight off the boats.    A feed of very fresh King George Whiting last night was to die for.     We actually celebrated my birthday here, and had a great dinner at the pub.   Seafood!!!!!,  of course. I was so hanging for a chocolate dessert but sadly there wasnt any on the menu.   Had to settle for home made baked coffee cheesecake.  Pretty good substitute.  Must admit, we both need to lose quite a few kgs. once home, so perhaps one more chocolate feast whenhome and then diet time!!!!!!!!.
We were tossing up which way to head from here and have decided to visit the Eyre Peninsula.   The trouble for us is that it is still blowing a gale and its not that enjoyable.   We have also picked up a hitch-hiker.   A little mouse has joined us, possibly on the Nullabor.   Has had a feast on Ricks muesli bars and now the trap is set.   Hopefully he is a loner and hasnt got a family on board.

The mouse has now been caught.  Fat little sucker.    Havent caught another, but will leave a trap set just in case.
