Still at Streaky Bay. The office at the caravan park has local oysters for $6 a dozen, so we get half a dozen each for entrée every night. Went down the coast to the Sea Lion colony, more beautiful coastline, lots of places to stop and stare. (see pic)Kathy had booked a tour of the abalone farm so we had to rush back to see how they farm the green lip abalone on concrete bays with sea water washing over them. It’s a bit more complex than that, but the basic concept applies. The direction of flow is changed regularly so the abalone moves up and down the concrete. I never realized you could exercise abalone. The sad part is, all the abalone is exported to China or Japan with very little making it to the Australian market.
