Grandpa’s Guide to Driving in Ceduna

Oh my, oh my! You’re probably wondering why I’m so excited? Let me tell you what, it was because I just had lunch. And not just any regular lunch, I had oysters! Boy, did that take my appetite to such great heights…

Speaking of oysters, I know about this town in the West Coast region of South Australia. It’s called Ceduna from the Aboriginal word Chedoona which means ‘a place to sit down and rest’. And because of its sandy coves, sheltered bays and offshore islands it’s always been a popular place for a beach holiday. Not only that, Ceduna also offers some of the best oysters available in the country!

When you’re on a vacation the last thing you want to be worried about is transportation. With a great car rental that you can get from http://www.vroomvroomvroom.com.au , that doesn’t have to be a problem anymore. You can get quality service and products all at a very affordable price. So what are you waiting for? Book that car rental right away!

Like every guide I’ve had the pleasure of sharing with you, I’m about o give you all a quick rundown of the best places to visit in town to make sure you don’t miss anything great during your stay at Ceduna.

1. Murat Bay

Why not go for a dip, eh? Drive down a few minutes from the town centre to the scenic Murat Bay to engage in the many water based activities. Pop in for a swim and don’t you fret because Murat Bay has got the best sheltered swimming conditions. Enjoy a fun and water-filled first day here at Murat Bay.

2. Ceduna's Old Schoolhouse Museum

Within the junction of Murat and Park Terrace lie’s Ceduna’s Old Schoolhouse Musuem. The museum holds a variety of historical displays depicting Ceduna’s pioneering past. A quirky attraction in the museum is the Maralinga Room. It’s where visitors can get to see a number of radioactively inert objects souvenired from British atomic tests of the 40s and 50s. These tests took place in Maralinga and Emu. It’s quite sad that most of the traditional Anangu people were forced to vacate their homelands for years. Along with that, the museum has plenty more timely artefacts that are sure to spark your interest.

3. Ceduna’s Oysterfest

This one’s a longshot but if you happen to be in Ceduna during the first week of October then you’re in for a massive treat! Ceduna’s Oysterfest happens this time of year and it’s quite a main event and celebrates the prized eating qualities of fresh and tasty local oysters. You don’t want to miss this for the world!

So I’m guessing you’re right about itching to visit Ceduna now that I’ve shone a light on all its little wonders. I do hope you make the most out of your trip and don’t hold back on the fun. Enjoy your youth, it’s the best thing you have. Trust me, I’m old.

Hoping to be with you on my next guide. Cheers!
