No visit to the Eyre Peninsular would be complete without seeing the haystacks. The legend is that a bus driving past mistook the rock formation for haystacks and as the farm was owned by Murphy they became known as Murphy's Haystacks.

The rock formation is still on private property but for a small donation is open to the public.

I was pleasantly surprised at how big the formation is. There is more to the site than the classic formations that are always photographed,

Looking inland along the sea channel to the Wool Shed Cave.

You are not really on the floor of the cave, more on a sloping ledge. It is worth going in past the entrance to gain a real perspective.

The Tub used to be a sea cave that has had its roof collapse.

It is still open to the sea.
It is only possible to see this opening if you climb down into the formation. Fortunately we camped near here and I went back in the morning with my drone and flew it down instead.

Using the drone I also captured some nice aerial shots.

These dunes are high up on top of some rocky, already tall cliffs.

The start of another cliff drive outside the small town of Elliston. Looking past the Elliston Jetty to the canola crop on the far clifftop.

This drive has tried to differentiate itself with a series of sculptures some of which I thought were pretty good.

Another sculpture.

The southern ocean.

Our preferred campsite at the Sheringa Beach campground tucked in beside the dune. We did try and pay honestly sir. After a bit of driving back and forth to find a spot and then to find enough phone signal the website was down. We stayed anyway.

Other preferred to be a little closer to the beach action.

Through the dunes to the beach.
