After a slow start to the day, washing calling -again. We hit down town Ceduna to check out the festival. It was overall, fairly low key. There were the usual carni rides- but not many, the usual carni food but not enough(forcing us to queue for half an hour for a hot dog and yes that was the healthiest choice available). Except of course for the oysters! They were delicious, large, tasty, fresh and cheap , $8 for 6. Now we have sampled a lot of oysters on this trip and the ones at the Ceduna oyster festival were definitely the best we've had, washed down with a nice glass of sparkling and it made up for all of the other insufficiencies of the "festival".

| Pete, very pleased with his 2 dozen oysters-they were just the beginning! |
We were treated to a viewing of the Grand Final on the big screen, a screen that had been set up on the grass just outside the beer tent which was convenient. The crowd seemed fairly lukewarm about the footy overall, but I'd say the majority of people there were swan supporters , including the half plastered aboriginal guy leaning on Petes chair for the majority of the game.So we felt just a little self-conscious cheering when the Hawks did something worthy as we didn't want to upset the locals!
Luckily the result was what it was, for the few passionate Swan supporters there.
The kids had a great day running around and returning to us at frequent intervals to have their money stocks replenished, to get some peace we were obliging, it was a win win situation!While we had a great day in the sunshine, I don't think I need to be rushing back to Ceduna in a hurry. We're off to Streaky Bay tomorrow which I'm looking forward to discovering as I've heard a lot about it.
