    Heading West

    April 23, 2018 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    Leaving Pt Augusta tested out the 4 wheel drive by taking the unsealed road to Mt Ives Station for an overnight stop ~ 250 kms all up. Started the day with a jog up the highest peak on the station to get another 360 degree view. A great work out for my lungs and legs.
    Time for laundry duties, long hot shower, a restock and refuel at Ceduna and an early morning on the beach.
    Found another perfect spot the next day - Cactus beach with the surfers, before heading West over the Nullabor.
    The night sky, the surf, the never ending landscape and blue skies were too fantastic to describe. My heart felt overwhelmed by the beauty. I didnt want to leave however I desperately needed a dump spot, food and water.
    Highlights of the Nullabor - seeing dolphins and swimming on a deserted beach on the Great Australian Bight. Viewing the amazingly bright night sky through my roof hatch (when lying in bed), and the vibrancy of red earth.
    So sad to leave on one hand but exciting to start the next leg.
