Coffin bay/Whyalla

bad hair day

We arrived in Whyalla yesterday and we had been driving all day so we were all tired. When we arrived at our caravan park we set up and stuffed ourselves with food since all we had that day was toast and a pie. We cooked dinner and ate a meat meal as usual. Andrew and I haven’t had ANY vegetables for four weeks, not that I’m complaining or anything. We all slept well that night except for dad who got stuck with Andrew, and all of our family knows that Andy is a blanket hogger and when he goes to bed he sleeps smack bang in the middle , this drives dad crazy. In the morning we went on a steel making tour it was pretty interesting we also got some iron ore and free magnet. Although Mum was extremely interested in the giant cuttle fish here, I can’t explain them. Here is some information on coffin bay, the previous town stayed at. Coffin bay was discovered by Lieutenant Matthew Flinders and his crew in the ship the Investigator on the 16^th of February 1802.Then some French man started naming everything even though Flinders already named them. I’d better tell you about are bush camping experiences. We camped in the coffin bay national park it was a long drive to actually get to the campsite. When we arrived we set up and tried to relax, but couldn't because there were about a quadrillion bees around, they extremely irritating. There was lots of wild life, mostly kangaroos and emus. We had a good time though then after two nights we packed up and left and went all the way to Whyalla.
