      Day 4

      Day 4 Elliston to Ceduna

      April 17, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Today we were back on the road getting closer to the Nullabor.
      We packed up from the Walker's Rock Campground in the morning and said some goodbyes to some people we had met while there.
      Once on the road we stopped at a landmark named Murphy's Haystack for some pictures and stopped at Streaky Bay for lunch on the beach while being entertained by a group of friendly seagulls.
      At last we arrived at a Big 4 caravan park in Ceduna. Tomorrow we start on the Nullabor.      Read more

      Day 2

      Very windy day

      October 30, 2022 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

      We left Kimba just before 7am to try and beat the wind, this worked for a little while but not all that long.
      Quick stop in Wudinna to view the "Farmer Statue" made of granite. Amazing how someone can do this.
      Then headed to Penong.
      Arrived in Ceduna at lunch time and after a walk down the jetty decided the winds were too strong to continue driving to Penong, so we had lunch on the side of the road in the caravan and found a caravan park that could accommodate us for the night.
      Shelly beach caravan park, a few kilometres just outside of ceduna said no problems, drive on in.
      So we booked in there for the night and out of the wind a much as possible.
      Lovely park with great amenities, tucked behind the sand dunes.
      Took a walk on the beach and funnily enough we were the only ones, so windy, the sand gave our legs a great sand blast!
      Hoping the wind dies down a bit so we can head towards the Nullabour Roadhouse tomorrow .      Read more

      West to East on The Nullabor

      July 19, 2021 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

      Hello from Ceduna, SA. The trip across The Nullabor was interesting, plenty of trucks, huge winds, some rain but enjoyable.
      After leaving Kalgoorlie we headed for Norseman & than hung a left to head east.
      The Nullabor Links golf course is a must to do as you play 18 holes across 1400 klms, tough but a bit of fun.
      Roadhouses of various quality, amazing scenery & a great chance to listen to podcasts that Kimmy had downloaded.
      Lucky we had the 60 to 70klm hr wind behind us. Helped with the fuel economy.
      Spent 3 nights @ Roadhouse caravan parks, powered sites for a/c to have warmth was appreciated.
      The Eyre Hwy was in excellent condition.
      Now in SA, off to Streaky Bay tomorrow then back home.

      Thanks for following us on this journey.
      Stay safe!      Read more

      Day 70

      Nullarbor to Wittelbee Conservation Park

      September 23, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Woke up early to another cool but nice day on the top of the cliff. Following breakfast and one last look at the fabulous view we packed up and headed towards Nullabor Roadhouse where we were meeting up once again with Murry and Yvonne. All along this stretch of highway there are tracks where you can drive in to view the Bunda Cliffs Although a lot have been closed because of crumbling edges and the fear of more collapsing, we were still able to call into the one with the most iconic view. Because we were meeting the Hales we left a bit earlier than Russell allowing them to poke along at their own pace. We arrived at Nullabor and had just settled in when Murry arrived, It was so good to see them again. We spent 2 nights with them at the top of Australia and now we are meeting them at the bottom.
      It's interesting what you see in the outback. I walked up to reception, without my phone, to ask about washing machines when I noticed 3 gyrocopters filling up at the bowers. By the time I walked out of the office, they had finished and were being pushed back to the front of the motel units where their pilots were staying the night. So many missed photo opportunities. Talking to one of them later I asked if they were part of a group that I had seen posted on Facebook outside of the William Creek pub. She said, "Yes, originally there were 7 of us but some had to head back to Sydney and Newcastle where we had set off from." They were heading to Whyalla next, then various places before Temora then home.
      Our group all had afternoon nibbles and a drink together sharing travel stories and reminisces, which was nice.
      Mum and I had dinner with Murry and Yvonne and after sharing a few laughs and good conversation over a steak, red wine and coffee liqueur, compliments of Murry and Yvonne, we said our goodbyes as they were leaving early in the morning. We woke up at 7.00am and they were gone.
      After packing up we headed to the Head of the Bight for, hopefully, some whale watching.
      After paying a fairly expensive entrance fee, we headed down to the viewing platform where we saw a Southern right whale and her baby. They were pretty close and I thought I could get a fairly good photo. No. Check out Photo 1. There were others we could see through the binoculars but too far away for photos.
      We left there and headed east through the Nullabor to Ceduna.
      This was a nice drive with the bush giving way to pastures and crop beginning at Nundroo and continuing all the way to Ceduna and beyond. We filled up at Nundroo and had lunch. Then after getting water for the van and checking out the windmills at Penong, we continued onto Ceduna where we had a look around the foreshore before driving to Pinky Point lookout.
      We then drove off to Wittelbee Conservation Park where we camped on the 'cliff' top, overlooking the bay.      Read more

      Ceduna Foreshore

      June 4, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      We are now back in Ceduna staying at the Foreshore caravan park, again we stayed here during our across the Nullarbor trip. It’s a nice park that has been updated again since we were last here, every site is now a slab site with gravel to park your car on. The ammenities are still as before but they were brand new 2 years ago.
      We have a site against the foreshore perimeter fence which gives us views of the bay.      Read more

      The Western Edge

      May 12, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      Today started with a hiccup. When we started our normally very reliable Land Cruiser some warning lights illuminated indicating a possible problem. Mark had a diagnostic tool available that logs into the car OBD system to find out what problem was indicating. A key suspect was that last night the car battery played up requiring a jump start, so we suspected the warnings were spurious caused by the temporary low voltage that had occurred. We rang Toyota service in Port Lincoln who confirmed our thoughts and was happy for us to continue driving the car providing the warning did not re-occur after the fault was cleared. So we cleared the fault and continued our journey and were pleased that the fault did not re-occur. Hopefully the problem will not re-occur for the remainder of our trip. The battery is on its last legs and will need to be replaced.
      These problems delayed our departure, but today was a relatively low mileage day anyway.
      Streaky Bay was only 40kms away and this is a very nice small country town located in the coast. It is clearly a popular tourist stopover because the place was full of caravans and grey nomads. Lots of small shops and a very nice seaside waterfront area, a number of very attractive well-kept old buildings which were very well preserved, with a nice jetty and a number of cafes and food outlets. It was a very pleasant stopover for our morning coffee.
      Then it was off to a famous free camp area at Perlubie Beach, famous because caravans are permitted to drive onto and camp right on the sand in the beach. It has become so popular that a permit is now required to stay there and the number of caravans per night is limited to 30. We were not stying there this time but we wanted to see it for future reference. It is a long white sand beach with good camping facilities, but one of the features we have noticed about many SA beaches is the large amount of seaweed and kelp that piles up on the beach after being washed ashore. This spoils what would otherwise be a lovely long white sand beach.
      After a quick look around the Perlubie Beach campground we continued to our final destination for the day at Smoky Bay.
      Smoky Bay is the most western edge of our trip where we turn around and each day from now on will have us heading east back towards Noosa. This is also the place where Mark and Sue leave us and continue their journey further west. We checked into the Smoky Bay caravan park and bid farewell to Mark & Sue as they headed off to Ceduna.
      Smoky Bay is also famous for its oysters, so after settling in we went to the Oyster outlet area and bought a dozen of the largest and most delicious oysters we have ever tasted! Wow!! A great way to celebrate the western extremity of our trip!
      Smoky Bay has a very laid-back atmosphere and is a place that would be great for a relaxing beach holiday and is probably very popular in the summer months. We walked around feeling very much at home, chatting easily with a few of the locals, and thoroughly enjoying this small town. It was one of the nicest small towns we have seen on this trip. The only downside was that the Internet was a bit like the town - very laid back and slow - which was a bit frustrating.
      Tomorrow will be an early start with around 500km of driving ahead.      Read more
