Nullabor Plains

Mothers day was beautiful fine weather. We visited Coffin Bay national park and viewed

spectacular cliffs and dangerous reefs, and snagged another whiting for tea.

Next day we continued west,Point Drummond, Locks Well ,all rugged and dangerous coast, stayed the night at Elliston, a top spot but rough weather.We moved on to Talia caves,Venus Bay, (a nice sheltered bay),had lunch at Murphy's Haystacks, (unusual rock formation). On to Streaky Bay and watched some shark being unloaded at the wharf. Smokey Bay next then Ceduna and stocked up with supplies. We free camped at Davenport Creek in the sand dunes and was plagued with mice. They scratched around the tent all night much to Diane's disgust.

Driving toward Penong through more grain country,noticed some big flocks of Dorfer sheep,(the sheep that shed their wool).Camped the night at Fowlers bay, with big sand dunes beside the town. Could'nt resist a drive along Scotts Beach and back over the dunes and got bogged. Should have let the tyers down.

We hit the highway at Nundroo, fueled up and set off on Eyre highway across the Nullabour.

The cliffs of the bight were awesome but did'nt see any whales. Long straight roads,but interesting scenery. We had our dream camp near Mondura, warm night,good fire and good company of fellow travelers. Next day it poured with rain, with rivers running along the side of the road .Norsman was unappealing so we continued on to Esperance in the rain for a cabin. Today we had a lazy day wandering around Esperance, (Quilt and outdoor shops).
