The Nullabor...........

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the nullabor....you just have to love it an iconic road trip across the bottom of australia
everchanging  off from Esperance up to Norseman for the start ..first day about 500 klm  bush camp that night under the stars
 a common sight for the next three days
bush camp...
well it was a good camp  julie was quite happy !!
this stretch of road goes for 146klm dead straight....no bends !! put it on auto and away you go!!
we are off to Eucla next another 500 klm ....got there ok stayed at the caravan park $20 powered site no water ....$1.00 for a shower...it was 38 degrees..so small price to pay put the air con on ...mother is happy ....no dramas !!
 
roadside vegetation always changing
view from the park at eucla
a couple of julie photos sunset at Eucla
the next part of the trip was to Ceduna about 500 klm where we are going to spend a few days
a couple of stops along the way diesel around $1.90-$2.01..a litre  but what can you do !
during this next part we will go to nullabor then the head of the bight ..and see some whales
view along the bite
nullabor roadhouse
whales at the head of the bight  to go in $12 a head ...$10 for seniors fortunate to see quite a few up close
 
fascinating watching mum and calf play come into the bay to rest must have been five mums and their calfs in while we were there  ...........loved it
well it's not all you see as you walk along the paths
a couple of lizards
cute little fella but angry when you touch him .....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
they are everywhere on the road ..must be an initation to walk across the highway ...quite a few flat ones.................
it was time to head off again to ceduna ( the whiting capital ) a fish good eating
the wide load we were behind was a tray and wheels of a mine dump truck you can see just how wide he is ..evenually he pulls to the right and we pass him on the left...car in front of me did not know what to do ..no 2 way...enventually woke up ..further down the track we come across another load coming the other way it was 6metres  across as well..I don't know what they were going to do !!
arrived in ceduna late afternoon still another 500 klm to port augusta here for a couple of days
