| Old Telegraph Station at Eucla |
We left Menzies after a few days of sightseeing some very interesting places and headed to Norseman, so we are now on our homeward journey. The roadside was mainly saltbush and small gum trees before our first stop at Kambalda.

| Overnight stop at East Norseman |
Day 35After a good night's sleep at East Norseman we headed to Balladonia for fuel. The weather is quite cloudy and looks like there might be some rain coming
Our next stop was Caiguna so we stopped and had lunch in our van, sandwiches and a cup of tea, and then set off again. We stopped at Cocklebiddy for fuel and ice creams. From Cocklebiddy we started to look for an overnight stop and found Moonera Rest Area as there were a few other vans there, Today we travelled about 475 km.
Day 37 - We left Moonera early as we were getting anxious to be home but still have a long way to go.

The road from Madura had lots of roadkill, mainly kangaroos and we saw some eagles as they come down onto the road to eat the roadkill. I didn't get any photos as I was not quick enough.We stopped at Eucla for fuel and then stopped again at Scenic View lookout on the Great Australian Bight.

We arrived in Ceduna lage in the afternoon and booked into the caravan park and after a shower went to the nearby hotel for dinner. Next morning we set off again and our first stop was Poochera another small farming town in South Australia. Another stop along the route home was Minnipa and a few other small towns before we arrived at Kimba where we stayed overninght. We had a chat and a drink with some other caravanners and then back to the caravan for tea. |

These sculptures are a tribute to Edward John Eyre and the indigenous men whose bush skills he was so reliant on.

Billy the camel has travelled many kms with us when I adopted him in Mundrabilla as he was looking very lonely on the shelf at the Roadhouse in Mundrabilla and unfortunately he still looks a bit sad, maybe he doesn't like road trips!

We have come to the end of our trip to Western Australia and have thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many interesting and outback towns but it will be good to be home after over a month away.
