In the dark when you go through port aguta, port Lincoln is very nice. Nice winery on right around the airport, don't know when it's not windy over that way, great part of SA.

We were there late October into early November. A beautiful time, warm, no wind. A place not to miss is Cleve , great little town with a dam nearby for overnight stays.
We really enjoyed from mid March to early April except for a wind storm though Pt. Lincoln after lunch on the Saturday at the Country Music Show at the Race course, we had a great time and looking towards the day we can go back to this unique area now we know more about where we can camp more low cost.

Lived in Port Lincoln for 6 years....the locals call November...Blowvember.....not joking....as a boat fisherman at the time I can attest to that.....there are some fine calm days, however, and the many attractions of Pt. Lincoln help you forget the wind...the best thing about Whyalla and its red dust, I found, was the road out to Pt Lincoln......Hoo Roo

Well said Happywanderer,
1st 11 years of married and working life were in Arno Bay and Cleve. Great spot, great folk and winter seemed best to us. Those windy months of spring, autumn were savage at times, but, beware the Northerly and North Westerlies of spring through to autumn - most hated of our experiences. Some days were like an oven!
Also try to take some of the less used roads, such as the Range Road which unfortunately cuts off Cowell. Also the road from Cleve down past Mt Hill and on to the Lincoln area is delightful - all dirt but lovely touring.

I slowly realise as I get older that I am definitely NOT the fastest rat in the race.
Also the older I get the more I realise I do not know.
Its not just the Eyre Peninsula that's copping it. We've been at Parham (35 km south of Pt Wakefield) for the past 10 days and every afternoon the wind comes in and gets stronger and stronger then starts dying down about 10:00 pm. People coming in from other places are saying the same - its unseasonal but there's not much you can do about it other than accepting it.

We've found the same at Moonta Dave, seems to have blown all summer.
