Whyalla.... Jan 21-27

Whyalla,  staying down on the beachfront boulevard was great, the kids enjoyed the beach and collected many shells for shell necklace making! We thought it was windy in Port Augusta! 2 days in the wind picked up in whyalla particullarly right outside our door! and it was the strongest wind iv'e ever experienced it blew a gale! plus all the lovely grit and seaspray and heat to top it off, haaa!( at least we  could bunk in the air con and watch the tennis) nonetheless, we had many bike rides , BBQs, beach walks, op shopping (many bargains!) Australia Day celebrations, also the kids had thier picture taken for the whyalla times paper for an article on too much seaweed, it was in the second page and in colour, i was pretty proud! and my favourite was a trip to the the Maratime Museum and the HMAS Whyalla Ship, i thoroughly enjoyed all the history and the also the WADLATA outback centre at Port Augusta is absolutely fantastic, its worth taking a drive what wonderful history and very well done. Enjoy the photos! i know probably too many beach shots!!  x

Inside the HMAS Whyalla

  It was very 'spooky' inside the war ship, everything was metal and chunky and diesel  smelling, it was an eerie step back in time everything as was when the sailors were on board, sleeping, eating, menus etc.  The Maratime Mueseum was fantastic too, I love History!



                                    Kym playing 'Kate Winslet'  lol

                                                          Kitchen


                         This was where sailors could go and 'hangout', there was hammocks tables chairs etc.                                I know a few of these decks at my place, with a tad different style mess, lol!



                                             






                                                        The gardens thru to the Museum





                                                   

                                                 
                Absolutely LOVED this well kept coloured polished 60's Floor! what a cool building!



                                      Interesting Astrological Info..

                                                             
     A Fantastic museum, could have spent hours, well worth a visit, left Whyalla,
