Some more seaside camping on the Eyre peninsula. We were hoping to see the local dolphins that follow boats into the harbour area but sadly it was a pretty quiet (and windy) time so nothing except a seal was about. Thought we were due for some history so we checked out the Maritime museum where they had the HMAS Whyalla on display- the first ship built at the Whyalla shipyard in 1941. It was used as a minesweeper in WWII and because of the flat bottomed hull meant that it would lean up to 40° either side… a vomit inducing thought! They also show a short video on how they moved the ship from the water to the museum 2km inland. We really enjoyed the museum and tour and recommend it to anyone passing through.
