We awoke to another glorious day…Branch came in to inspect my toe which was looking colourful and feeling very ordinary….

Gordie had cooked his famous scones, so we had an early morning tea. The scones were, as always, delicious!! Rose and Dave were planning to set out for Port Lincoln and the Toyota dealer who was going to fix the Pearl’s little issue… After calling the dealer they had a 2 o’clock appointment so decided to come with us to Greenly Beach and rockpool that morning before heading to Port Lincoln.

The Greenly Beach Rockpools have been made famous by posts on social media – they are indeed beautiful, and we enjoyed swimming there and taking in the scenery. Greenly Beach is a surf beach right next to the pools and again is another stunning beach which you can camp right next too. 

The water in the rockpools was fresh and clear, and there was a myriad of starfish of different colours in the pools – the most spectacular were the bright orange ones.

Trev and I had a snorkel and Klaus and Rose went in for a swim… Gordie went down to the beach for a swim. After a time Rose and Dave decided to leave for Port and so we all walked back up towards the carpark.

Suddenly Kerry disappeared – she fell down a rocky area and all we could see were her legs up in the air – we all rushed over fearing the worst but amazingly she was unhurt – Trev checked her out and helped her up – we were all so thankful she had no injuries other than a scrape on her arm. God certainly was looking after her!

When we got back to the cars Trev put the drone up and captured some great footage of the area.

Gordie and Kerry decided to stay on for another swim at the beach and we drove back with Klaus to the caravan park for a quick lunch and to pick up Beryl who has stayed behind to get some things done. We drove out to show Klaus and Beryl Golden Island lookout and Almonta Beach that afternoon….

The views from Golden Island lookout were still breathtaking the second time around…..

Walking in to Almonta Beach Trev located the culprit rock that had nearly annihilated my little toe. The sandhills were bringing out the kid in Trev!!

Klaus noticed a huge school of large Australian Salmon in the surf just floating around…. Difficult to capture in a pic but there must have been thousands of them – Klaus was itching to throw in a line!

After taking some pics we drove back to Coffin Bay – Rose and Dave had just arrived back from Port Lincoln with the Pearl as good as new after her quick “service”…

That night we enjoyed a tapas style seafood dinner at Oysters HQ, a local restaurant across the road – a great location on the waterfront at Coffin Bay with some delicious and unique items on the menu!

The area around Coffin Bay was beautiful with so much to explore – we will have to come back to the Eyre Peninsula! Tomorrow we head for Sheringa Beach campground……..
