Coles Point / Greenly Beach / Coffin Bay

by in South Australia, Trip

Sheringa Beach didn’t feel right; the ocean was too strong to swim, the camping didn’t feel safe with locals coming and going and we didn’t want to leave the bus alone while being on the beach. I think Marjo and the dogs have enough of traveling so we are looking for a spot where we all can be happy and stay a while. This is not it.

First we look at other roads around Sheringa Beach and take some nice shots on and from the cliffs.

The weather is not great when we take the road back to the pub.

We stop at the pub for a dozen of $6 fresh oysters for Marjo and then head onto Coles Point.

Then the road leads us past filled and empty lakes and big and small trees.

Marjo gets inspired by the shapes of the big gums.

While Nossi watches it all enfold.

Then a turn off on another dirt road towards Coles Point. The road is overall not too bad allowing us to do 60 kph with some corrugated parts where we are shaken to bits and slow down to 14 kph.

We come past farmers who seem to be more productive then we are.

And keep following the road to nice views but no camp ground.

We stop for some lunch and walk to the beach with wild waves.

After checking out Greenly beach, which works out inaccessible for the bus, we decide to head to Coffin Bay.

In Coffin Bay we do the proper thing and go full out, meaning showers, laundry, cleaning the bus, finished by beer & wine, Marjo’s oysters and on the bike for some takeaway.

That evening Nossi got all exited by our late visitors and then we went to bed.
