Coorabie - Fowlers Bay

3rd December -
During the day, we drove to Fowler's Bay. The town dog followed the boys onto the dunes. The 3 of them run up and down, and cover some distance away from us.
Debbie on Coorabie Farm did tell us the name of this doggie. She responded to "Lilly" according to the boys.
Looking over the town and out to the Southern Ocean.
The view over town, mostly holiday homes, and the jetty.
Fowler's Bay is a surprising little heritage town, with some charming homes, town hall, old post office etc, and some big sand dunes.

 The old post office, now a private home.
Also drove to a nearby lookout. On the way back, Coolabie is an interesting kinda dead micro town. A great day.
We stayed two nights on Coorabie Farm. The idea is to finish off all the veggies before the border check at Ceduna. And guess who's here on the second night? Richard and Penny again.

This place is awesome, nice facilities, good tree coverage, a kitchen with character (see photo to the left), fridge.

The farm hosts Poggy and Debbie are awesome, stay for a couple of beers, introduce people around, and get them chatting. We start the communal camp fire and everyone's chatting nicely. A school teacher, two retired IT people.
Right: me, Penny, Richard, Marie and Lou.

In the morning we take Fergus the border collie for a run along the airstrip. That would tire him out for at least 15 minutes.
Left: the Penong Windmill museum. Pretty interesting actually, and a good spot for a random stop.
