    Bunda Cliffs & CockleBiddy

    October 13, 2022 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

    After a 3.5 hr drive from Ceduna after crossing part of the Nullarbor we setup camp in on Bunda Cliffs. This is a free camp spot, off the Eyre Highway about 1km 4wd track towards the cliffs. Aslan and I picked the furthest spot possible and setup for the evening. Not before flying the drone to get a better look. We made sure to stay away from the Cliff edge and the rule was if you needed a pee you had to do it on the car tyre and not wonder off in the dark. The cliffs sit up 80 metres from the ocean with a sheer drop. We had the place to ourselves. See Drone footage. https://vimeo.com/759853845

    It was harder to cook with gas, because of the wind, but I was too lazy to switch over to the induction cooker. Next time I won’t bother with gas. I think it took 1 hr to boil water and I wasted a good gas bottle on it. The night was calm, but it rained in the morning.

    We setoff around 10:00am the next morning, towards Western Australia. It was a 4.5-hour drive to the next spot which was a remote spot called Cocklebiddy on the Western Australia side.

    Just before we crossed the border, we had to get rid of our frozen meals, pasta, and meat, which sucked, I will have to make some more in WA now. WA have strict quarantine rules. The drive was nice, ocean to the left, low mountain range to the right. The time zones through us. South Australia was 30 mins behind Victoria, but WA is 3 hrs behind Victoria, so we got to camp earlier than expected. Camp was easy you just turn off the road and drive and stop where you want. We picked a spot about 1 km off the road in the middle of nowhere. https://vimeo.com/759855612

    We setup camp had a light dinner and settled in for the night. We hit the road to Norseman tomorrow and another 4–5-hour drive west.
