Baird Bay and Streaky Bay

Well today had high expectations and after our 12hr drive it really needed to be worth our while. And it was. We met up with Alan, Chris and Mick from the Baird Bay Eco Experience, 3 of the 4 people who live in this town!! We wet suited up and off we went.  We came straight across a group of dolphins and jumped in. The dolphins were fantastic, swimming all around us. We even saw a baby, Finn, who was too cute!!

The kids took to snorkelling quite well, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves, Ronan even playing tiggie with them apparently!!

We then headed over to the sea lion colony that lives on the island nearby. 

These were so playful it was so much fun being in the water with them. One tried to chew on the boat, then make a meal of my toes!! Troy got a kiss from one twice. They seemed to close their eyes and lay down on the sea bed playing possum, then they would come to life and flip around you. It was awesome!! 

We then watched them ride the waves like they were body surfing. What a life!!

We were then treated to a hot milo and biscuit, which went down a treat!!  We headed back into shore after such an amazing, yet casual and laid back experience. It was super!

We then packed up camp and headed to Streaky Bay via Murphy's Haystacks, which are large formations of granite, and that's about it. A great photo op but not much else!!

We only just fit into the Streaky Bay caravan park, ending up in the overflow. The joys of winging it!! 

Great park though. Went for a ride through a very quiet town and had dinner at the pub.
