Elliston to Point Lowly

Today was easily the hottest day of the trip. Around 40 degrees. Somehow this morning I completely misjudged the weather. It was overcast and windy, so I wore my rain coat over my riding jacket. That came off fairly quickly. I rode across the Eyre Peninsular and up the coast to Point Lowly, just the other side of Whyalla. I was a bit worried it would be full due to the heat and the long weekend, but there is heaps of space.

There is a port a few km away that offloads LPG and brings in crude oil. I think the houses here are probably for workers at that place. Among the houses are "camping reserves" and there is probably more space for camping than what is taken up by houses. There are no shops so I'll be having pasta and peanuts for dinner.

Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter so I'm staying put here tomorrow. I'm right near the water, I'd be a fool to leave.

From the tent. It's low tide at the moment.
