The Eyre Peninsula is at the western end of South Australias time zone so sunrise is around 8:00am at this time of year. However for the guests at the Venus Bay Caravan Park darkness did not prevent an early start on the important business of the days fishing. So by the time there was enough light for a photograph many of those tinnies had alrerady been launched at the local natural sand boat ramp and we only got photos of the late comers.

Our scenic diet of beaches and head lands were augmented today by our first Emu of the trip, a hugh plant that looked a bit like an aloe vera and some sea caves.

Our day was shortened a bit by a vehicle problem we have been having. Each morning after starting the engine for the first time the engine dies after about 15 seconds. Cranking for 20-30 seconds will restart the engine and thereafter it works all day. We have arranged to deliver the vehicle to the Toyota dealer in Port Lincoln this afternoon so they can look into the problem.

We "camped" the night in a nice motel on the water front in Port Lincoln.
