FRIDAY 3RD APRIL 2009 – FOWLER’S BAY S.A. – DAY 25

We wake up to a gorgeous morning this morning. Nick takes Lucy for a walk on the beach and I decide to do some cleaning up and washing.

Jan and Alan ask us if we’d like to do some sightseeing with them which agree to and together with Lucy we drive to Penong, a small town which is famous for its windmills. There are about 15 of them all grouped together as you arrive into town. We head to the Woolshed Museum and Craft Display. Jan and I make some purchases – many items here have been made by the locals so we feel we are helping to support the local community. Lunch is fresh fish and cold beer at the local pub.

After lunch we drive about 20kms to the coast and to Cactus Beach which is a famous surfing spot. There are a couple of surfers who are braving the huge surf, Nick declines the offer to join them!

We drive back to camp for dinner (oysters again)and an early night as we have made the decision to leave here tomorrow to cross the Nullabor.
