It has been a bit too cold recently to go travelling in our caravan, so I have been in the comfort of our warm home going through some photos of another part of our trip to Western Australia some years ago. After leaving the small town of Menzies (in my last past) we headed home towards Adelaide across the Nullarbor Plain.

| Typical scenery on the Nullarbor Plain |
The Nullarbor Plain is a flat, semi arid area of Southern Australia. Many people think this part of the trip is boring but we have done it a few times and always find it interesting.

These strips on the Eyre Highway are for the RFDS to use as an air strip
in emergency rescues |

| I bought "Billy" the camel at the Mundrabilla fuel stop as he was the last on the shelf and looked very lonely, and he has travelled everywhere with us on the dashboard |

| The Bunda Cliffs |
The Bunda Cliffs extend from the Head of the Bight to Eucla and they are spectacular and there are various sections allocated for safe camping.
Our next stop after the Bunda Cliffs was Eucla, a good place to get fuel and food and there is also a drive out to the Old Telegraph Station which I wrote about in my last post.

Too cold your way and too hot this way--lol!
ReplyDeleteLoved meeting Billy and where he joined your travels.
Those cliffs are stunning!
Stay warm and safe! :)
We have traveled across the Nullarbor and I thought some of the views were spectacular.
ReplyDeleteAs hubby is still working we haven’t done long trips for a while now. We are looking forward to getting back out there. So much to see in our big country
Big skies are one of the reasons I love travelling in the outback. I remember the winter sunrises and sunsets as being spectacular.
