Day 9 & 10 - Turn the corner

I'm sitting in the car at Ceduna waiting on everyone to finish last minute shopping before heading into Fowlers Bay.
We spent a horrible night at Streaky Bay when 70 kms winds came in overnight and nearly blew us away. The tide had come right up to the front of the camper so hooking it onto the Toyota was a bit of a trial. So bad was the weather this morning we took to the Bakery in town for a nice cappuccino and croissant! ( life isn't all bad, even in trying circumstances).
After getting out of Streaky Bay we headed north to try and find a spot for the day out of the wind, which we finally did at Acraman Conservation Area. Hidden away behind mallee trees in amongst sand dunes it was time to relax, read a bit and keep warm. The rain continued for most of the day but we had tarps up everywhere to help keep us dry.
On the road again this morning and finally caught up to Doug and Elaine, quite by chance in Ceduna. They were just taking off as we came around the corner, so after a small chase to wave them down, we are now all together again. Well we are fuelled and heading towards the Nullabor so see you soon.
