We thought Col has “gone troppo” when we saw him rolling around until we realised this was the first green grass we had seen in a “l o n g “ time. This is on the foreshore at Ceduna.
Sunrise over Fowler’s Bay, another area steeped in history but now a small fishing village.
The long straight road at the beginning of the Nullabor Plain.
This is a “wild” dingo at the Nullabor roadhouse. She came looking for food then went to sleep at the caravan door in the shade.
The Nullabor Roadhouse on the eastern edge of the “backyard”.
The Murrawijinie Caves are north of Nullabor Roadhouse. There are three caves in this area. They look like big sink-holes that go back for several hundred meters. The vehicles on top look like matchbox toys.
These cliffs are part of the Great Australian Bight Marine Park. The colours and ruggedness of the area is unbelievable.
It has taken 6 weeks, but the mechanic’s hands are now white and there is not a trace of grease under his fingernails either.
We made it – only to be faced with the fruit quarantine station – out go all the foodstuff that could harbour disease!
This is the original Overland Telegraph Station at Eucla. It was built on the sand dunes and over time the dunes have moved reclaiming the buildings.
These are the locals you have to look out for. And the highway is straight all 146.6 k of it – the longest straight road in Australia.
We also visited the Eyre Bird Observatory which was the old Telegraph station at Eyre. It has been restored but is on the wrong end of a very bumpy road.
This is the roadhouse at Widgimooltha - Widge for short. An enormous nugget of gold was discovered here but this is all that remains today – and it’s for sale for $995,000.00 plus stock if anyone is interested.
