Kimba
A service town on the Eyre Highway at the top of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.
Kimba has a population of a little over six hundred.
Ceduna
A town on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula South Australia. 800 km from Adelaide. Ceduna is derived from the aboriginal word Chedoona. Said to mean, 'a place to sit down and rest'. Ceduna is the last major town before crossing the Nullarbor Plain. Accommodation found in the Ceduna Foreshore Motel. Offering reasonable rates and facing the beachfront. Foreshore lined with tall mature pine trees. Great spot for eating fish & chips. The local hotel nearby, just 100 metres away. ID is required for takeaway liquor. Even for older people. A huge dust storm enveloped the area when I approached the town.
One overnight stay only in Ceduna.
