Bunda Cliffs, Head of Bight
No whales this time of year-so entry fee was reduced by half!
Murrawijinie Caves
You will find these just ten kilometres behind the Nullarbor Road House.
But don't be deceived...it is so easy to lose your bearings out here. I thought, with the lay of the land so flat, that we'd still be able to see the roadhouse...noooooo.
Eyre Highway
Someone stole the Camel on the previous sign.
We saw wedgetailed eagles, emus, cape barren geese, kangaroos but no camels.
Plants growing in the sand at the Old Eucla Telegraph Station. Western Australia.
Roadhouses out here are probably only necessary to service the travellers crossing the Nullarbor. Food and fuel expensive, as is the accommodation.
We stayed one night at Border Village simply because we couldn't be bothered checking through Border Security (ha, only joking...but yes there is a quarrantine check point), but really we were too tired to bother so stayed in South Australia...shame because we had to put up with the noise of a generator all night.
In 1979 part of Skylab fell near Balladonia Roadhouse which houses a small museum (free entry). I found it quite interesting. Not bad coffee either. Friendly staff when we were there.
Coffee: $3.50, LPG: $1.22 per litre.
Sign at Cocklebiddy Road House.
The staff at Cocklebiddy were very nice and helpful too.
I would have so much liked to visit the Eyre Bird Observatory at Cocklebiddy, but my Atilla the Hun said: No.
No explanation needed.
Sunrise at Woorlba Rest Area Western Australia.
This is where we spent our second night on the Nullarbor.
Sorry, but this must have to be the worse maintained rest stop of our entire trip so far.
Quite a busy spot.
Norseman for lunch, then off to Esperance.
