Thevenard

We watched the prolonged sunset from the bistro of the Ceduna Foreshore Hotel next to our caravan park. I took my first photo at 5.44pm and the second photo at 6.23pm, with an ever changing vista all through this time.

Our morning started with washing then we went to the Bakery for breakfast. It was cold on the footpath so we sat with Blue in an arcade between the bakery and butcher protected from the wind. Many of the shops have a second door protecting the entrances, keeping the warmth in and cold out.

We drove to the port town of Thevenard 3kms from Ceduna. This is the working deep sea port where wheat, gypsum, salt and zircon are loaded.

Pinky Point Lookout features this monument in the shape of a lighthouse. The monument was constructed to commemorate lives lost at sea. It is 4.3m tall and has tiles depicting various sea related images.

We visited Shelly Beach where long beaked birds were poking around in the shallow water, presumably eating the little creatures that live in said shells.

Driving around Thevenard we spotted some quirky sights. Two houses had interesting decorations in their gardens. Gray’s Transport advertises a “well maintained fleet”, but presumably not this truck.
