Eucla

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Saturday Evening 29th March 2008, Eucla.
For those concerned, as of tomorrow we will be out of mobile contact for three or four days. If anyone wants to contact us ring Linda’s mobile and leave a message, we can retrieve these remotely.
We had a look around Eucla today, not that there is much to see. We […]

Eucla-More on the cliffs

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

Saturday Morning 29th March 2008, Eucla.
More on the Nullarbor cliffs: Although we were rapt with the scenery we saw of the Nullarbor cliffs, we were also a little disappointed. One of the supposedly better scenic points of the Bite was at the head of the Bite near the Nullarbor Roadhouse, there is a sealed road […]

Eucla, WA at last

Friday, March 28th, 2008

Friday 28th March 2008, Eucla WA.
This will probably only be a short one as it has been a long day today, not that we travelled a great distance, but we did a fair bit of sight-seeing on the way, more on that tomorrow. We are now finally in WA at Eucla, just across the border. […]

Nullarbor Roadhouse

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Thursday 27th March 2008, Nullarbor.
After having a decent nights sleep, after the hectic day yesterday, I now feel in a better mood for putting words down.
It is unknown at this stage how long we will be here with Adrian possibly having problems getting the correct studs to repair their caravan. We are waiting word from […]

Nullarbor Plains

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Wednesday 26th March 2008, Nullarbor.
After five years of contemplating we are finally crossing the Nullarbor Plains on our way to WA. We are now at its namesake, Nullarbor road-house, nearly 300K from Ceduna. See map. The trip today was not without its dramas with Kay and Adrian losing a wheel off their caravan. We were […]

Ceduna-and on to WA

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008

Sunday 23 March 2008, Ceduna. (Easter)
Having been at Ceduna now for a few days and had discussions with K and A we have now finally decided that our trip to WA is all go. I think that decision was actually made quite a while ago, otherwise we may not actually be here, but we did […]

Ceduna

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Wednesday 19th March 2008 Ceduna.
We are now at basically the last town before entering WA. We travelled about 100K today to Ceduna, see map, which is about 5-600K from the actual border, but there are no towns as such in that distance. We intend being here for a week over Easter to see out that […]

Streaky Bay / packed ready to move

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Tuesday 18th March 2008, Streaky Bay.
After 2 or 3 weeks of sweltering heat it has finally turned cool with a southerly change. Isn’t it typical though, that we are due to move tomorrow, which means packing up today, and it is threatening to rain. In fact we had a few spits this morning so we […]

Streaky Bay / Cape Bauer

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Monday 17th March 2008, Streaky Bay.
We went for another drive today to Cape Bauer, not far away, in fact on the other side of the bay that Streaky Bay is situated. The coastline is still much the same as elsewhere we have seen recently, quite spectacular, but this time with a little difference. This section […]

Streaky Bay

Friday, March 14th, 2008

Friday 14th March 2008, Streaky Bay.
We went for a drive around some of the coastline to the south of Streaky Bay today, and are still awe-inspired with the cliffs of the coastline, if it is going to be like this all the way across the Nullarbor one could possibly start to get bored with the […]
