Streaky Bay

Russ and I arrived in Streaky Bay on the Eyre Peninsula yesterday about 3ish. The caravan park is the biggest we have stayed in so far-210 sites but all people our age (old) so really nice and quiet. Our neighbours all got over to say Hi pretty quicky. They are from Mildura behind us, Mandurah formerly Warrnambool, and Perth in front of us. The dog already has a fan club of ladies missing their own dogs.

I was worried there would be nothing at Streaky Bay, but the pub looks good, there is a seafood restaurant, and last night, we were able to easily get all the ingredients for a Thai green chicken curry. I especially like the bag of Fresh Asian herbs I bought that contained coriander, mint, basil, chives, garlic, ginger and a head (?) of baby bok choy. Ive never seen the mix before, but it was great and unexpected in a place so far out of Adelaide!

To all of you who've been asking, the dog had her stitches out Thursday. leg is still quite swollen, there is new skin growing in patches which looks quite tender and we don't think she'll ever be 100% again, but she'll be OK. It doesn't stop her chasing her ball, and she's loving a swim in the sea which is less than 30 metres from the front of the van.
