We left Ceduna and arrived in Streaky Bay for morning tea. This whole coast is well reknown for many fatal shark attacks over the years. The jetty had a caged area attached to it so you could safely swim. We gave it a miss on this occasion.
The Shell service station had a display in a dark back room which Ray led Caleb into with his eyes closed. When I turned on the lights, he came face to face with a full scale Great White Shark which was hanging from the ceiling. 
Clutching his chest he sobbed,” that nearly gave me a heart attack.” We tried hard not to laugh. 
This shark is a life size replica of the one caught here in 1990 by a 21 year old local. It was caught on a 24 pound line. It holds the record for the biggest caught in the world and gave researchers a lot of information on the reproductive systems of female sharks. It wasn’t often that mature females were caught, so the information about them was little. This one was between 16 and 19 years old. Of course, now that Great White Sharks are protected they can’t be purposely killed. 
We stopped of at Venus Bay ( well we had to of course as we used to live very close to Venus Bay in Victoria – a town with the same name). When we saw a bay with the same name as “our” Venus Bay in South Gippsland we couldn’t possibly drive past. It reminded us a lot of “our Venus”. It too is a tourist town on the beach with a general store and caravan park and not a lot else. We noticed that the general store was for sale but I pulled Ray away very quickly. Been there, done that! 
There are numerous bays along this coast that are great for staying in but we decided to head straight to Port Lincoln where we can explore the area from. It was good to set up camp knowing that we were stopping for a few days rather than just doing an overnight stop.
