Across the Nullabor

We left Kalgoorlie, stopped into Kambalda and looked over the massive salt lakes from the lookout. Next stop was Norseman for lunch and then we headed east across the Nullabor. Unsurprisingly we found the longest straight stretch of road in Australia. We stopped in at Eucla and had a walk around the old telegraph station that the sand dunes are slowly reclaiming. We finally crossed back into SA…….”we’re back in our own land” Lachlan said. We loved the views of the Bunda cliffs of the Great Australian Bight and spent some time watching the Southern right whales Mums and bubs club at the Head of the Bight, there were about 16 mother’s and calves there, really close in to the cliffs so we had a great view of them. One of the calves even put on a little display, breaching and slapping its tail around.

 GPS advising the next turn in 1197km!!! 1928 km from home
