Ceduna at Easter?

Skip Ceduna.
Go south to Streaky etc. or west to Mexican Hat - Cheetima (west of Fowlers Bay).

The area around Ceduna and Eyre Peninsula gets very busy and crowded around Easter. Apart from school holidays and Easter it is prime fishing time - or so a lot of fishermen believe. Last year we couldn't get in at Streaky Bay a few days before Easter and we grabbed the last site available at Shelley Beach CP (a great park) in Ceduna. So book ahead! The camping spots along the peninsula towards Ceduna were all full so we felt we were lucky to get a place at all! Cheers Lynne and John

Hi Alex
If you are heading over that way, make sure that you head out to Googs Track. Well worth it if you are in the area. Also Dog Fence Beach is a great area as well.

Beware of the Razor Shell fish around Streaky Bay - Mighty tasty but very very sharp edged shells ...

That's a long drive for a 4 day holiday. 1600 km each way. By the time you get there it will be time to go back home. It wouldn't matter where you went you won't have any time to relax anyway.

Im with Peter & Margret, skip Ceduna, head to Streaky Bay, Coffins Bay, Port Lincon any of these are better than Ceduna.

We stayed there a year and a half ago at a 'caravan park' full of dog chit and mozzies, crappy experience, much better places in SA.

Fowlers Bay would be my pick - good jetty fishing and the long, fabulous Scott's beach is just over the dunes nearby (great dune driving too) - Scott's is a regular salmon hot spot - the usual sand species are abundant too of course, mainly at the western end. The CP is quite basic, and you need to take ALL of your supplies (bit of an outpost) but the fish and the outdoor environment are the attractions.... we've caught blue fin tuna just off the coast in summer - what a place !

Back in 2005 we had a holiday in Ceduna over the Easter weekend and spent the next week and a half travelling around the Eyre Peninsula. It was great, if somewhat too short.

We stayed at Shelley Beach CV Park and used it as a base. We did a long day trip out west beyond Fowler's Bay and another in the area west of but closer to Ceduna. The camping at Davenport Crk looked nice but you would need to be self sufficient.

We also did a day trip to Streaky Bay. The idea of the trip to SB was that it would allow us to travel further on the day we left Ceduna. Pt Lincoln, Coffi Bay and Lincoln National Park were all nice and we had a fun day despite the cold and very wet weather taking in the Whaler's Way drive. We also had a day sailing on a charter yacht to see the Tuna farms whcih was both interesting and enjoyable.

I was pleasantly suprised by Whyalla. It has a very "steel town" appearance with red dust stains all over the place. A bit like Wollongong and Newcastle 20 years ago. But once you look past that there are some very pleasing things about the town.

Also over that way is Gawler Ranges NP and Pildappa Rock
