About Ceduna
Accommodation
It was the Ceduna Oyster Festival week-end and accommodation was very difficult to find but we managed to get into the “Big4”. There’s something wrong when you book-in to a caravan park, tell the person on the other end of the phone that your caravan is 21’6″ and they allocate a site that a 16′ van would just fit into.
This was one of the worst parks we had stayed in for a very long time. Razor-wire around the perimeter fence etc but when you’re only paying $27.90 per night then you should realise what to expect.
The Oyster Festival
Well, we really picked a great week-end to be in Ceduna as it was the annual Oyster Festival with so much going on BUT it was 44 degrees (in the shade) and very very windy. We still enjoyed our time here. Annie and I even went for a swim off the Jetty.
There was a street parade as well as a massive oyster orientated food stall area, packed with people from all over.
2023 AFL Grand Final
Saturday 30th September was the AFL Grand Final between Collingwood (Merrisa’s team) and Brisbane. The match, attended by a capacity crowd of 100,024 spectators, was won by Collingwood by a margin of four points and Merrisa was ecstatic, running around our caravan park cheering and waving her arms in the air like a mad woman!
