The caravan park is right on the beach just behind the dunes. The kids had a great time exploring the park and the beach, and found some enormous beetles they have nick-named Big Freddie! We jumped on our bikes and rode into town, finding the fish factory, a grain export station and the light house. Ceduna also have automated toilets the kids found so much fun they used them twice!!
This morning I thought it would be awesome to go sand boarding, after I was told the dunes here were awesome. Troy also wanted to go for a fish, so we packed for the day, Troy got all his stuff ready, I packed a lunch, and off we went. The caravan park manager had told Ronan the place to go for sand boarding was at Davenport Creek. She failed to mention ( or maybe she did and Ronan forgot) the 30km of unsealed road you had to drive to get there!! Every time we turned a corner the dunes seemed to get further away, but we persisted! We eventually got there to find some dunes.
These dunes were not what we expected so we hiked through the dunes, persisting despite the sand flies, in search of at least one dune that we could try our hand at sand boarding. Troy had bought the boards especially, and we really wanted to use them. We eventually found a dune big enough that we could give it a shot. EPIC FAIL! Not sure if it was the boards or our technique, but we could not do it, although we had a bit of fun trying!
Troy decided to have a bit of a fish, then realised he had forgotten bait. We headed back into town to get some bait, when he realised he had left his rod at the dunes! I left him with his other two rods and the kids on the pier at Denial Bay to try and catch some King George whiting, while I went back to try and find the rod, unfortunately to no avail. When I got back to find them, Stella had caught a King George and Troy had not.
Needless to say, Troy didn't have such a great day today. Hope tomorrow brings him more joy!! And a King George!
