Travelling via Norseman, and calling in for supplies before the long trek ahead - no bread left at the IGA - a lot of tourists had been in before us and the shelves were empty, what a cheek ! Luckily when we went to the Caltex to top up with fuel they had some white.
We overnighted first at Woorlba Homestead Rest Area, ahead of us the next day was the famous 90 miles of straight road. and thence Eucla Caravan Park, beautifully situated on a cliff overlookng the ruins of the old telegraph station and air strip. The cost fuel we topped up with was $1.88.
As you can imagine there were very few features, very low growing scrub and most of the very sparse trees were almost horizontal due to the fierce southerly winds which whip in from the
Antarctic, however on our journey the prevailing wind was from the east - head on to us - and our fuel consumption reflected this.
Some of this journey was beside the Great Australian Bight which provided magnificent scenery and photo ops.
Yalata West Rest Area was our next overnight campsite after which we discovered Fowlers Bay where we stayed for 2 nights attempting to eat all our remaining fruit and vegetables in readiness to cross the Quarantine border at Ceduna.
Whilst at that park we were adopted by Fowler - a cat who made himself at home in our van, constantly asking for food and sleeping on our chair outside and howling from 4 a.m. to come into the van. As we left for Ceduna he moved on to the van next door.
