Bike
ride around to Moores Ramp with Sue and Ian – about 12 km return and we cycled
close to the bay enabling wonderful views back to Streaky Bay and to the
opposite side. This was no arduous ride, rather a pleasant one during which we
paused to admire the scenery and bird life.
After
lunch we took a drive around and found Perlubie Beach near which seems to be a
recent development with a few “shacks” on large blocks. They all have numerous water tanks and in
some instances seemed to dwarf the living quarters. This point established
itself in the history books as the place from which the pioneers shipped their
wheat supposedly to a larger port.
The Cape Bauer Loop Drive was recommended to witness the Whistling Rocks and Blowholes.

In fact, there were builders still putting some finishing touches to it. The whistle of the water was an interesting feature, while there did not seem to be enough strength in the swell to give a “blow” to the blowhole.
Nevertheless it was a good workout climbing back up the stairs, and from here we weaved in and out many other lookouts to experience the ocean and many rugged and wonderfully shaped rock formations.
