The hotel rooms upstairs at this 1866 brick beauty have rip-
snorting water views and a large balcony from which to snort them. The downstairs
rooms are sans views but perfectly decent. Motel rooms out the back are unglamorous
but have more privacy. Breakfast, lunch and dinner happen in the bistro daily (mains $15
to $30, serving 7am to 9am, noon to 2pm and 6pm to 8.30pm).

It looks like a big shipping container from the street, but this jaunty
corrugated-iron-clad cafe is the town's social pacemaker, with murals, Moroccan lanterns
and water views from the alfresco terrace. Dishes focus on scrumptious local seafood −
try the chilli-and-lime squid. There's good coffee, too.

Ceduna
POP 3800
Despite the locals' best intentions, Ceduna remains a raggedy fishing town that just can't
shake its tag as a blow-through pit stop en route to WA. But the local oysters love it!
of Australian oyster parties. And if you're heading west in whale season (May to Octo-
ber), Ceduna is the place for updates on sightings at Head of Bight.
