To Coffin Bay

Some of these photos John took out of the window while I was driving from Whyalla down to Coffin Bay.
We go through some very dry almost desert country and the first photo is of the blue bush and scattered trees from the road.
This is large sheep station country with mines along the way.
As you can see from this rather artificial looking hill. It is Iron Baron and is one of the areas mined for iron ore which goes to the steel mills at Whyalla and I presume these days most likely to China.Most of our mineral wealth seems to go to China and then comes back to us in some manufactured form or other.
This was coming in to Pt Lincoln where grain is shipped over seas as well, although fishing and in particular tuna is another big earner for the area.
You can see the grain silos in the background and a ship waiting.
Then, we are here! the little beach we passed this morning while we went on an hour long walk.
A family in the shack behind it with a small child going 'to was off' as he told us.
A beautiful day, the fellows are fishing, we are taking it easy and sitting lapping up the sun as I believe the weather is going to change, it doesnt matter, we are on holiday.
