Our travels on Sunday the 24th of May took us from Streaky Bay to Ceduna for a quick fuel stop and then onto the Nullarbor where we spotted Dingoes, Emus and Eagles along the way.
To get fuel at the Nullarbor road house, the driver has to hand in his license before he can fill the car. Once the money for the fuel is handed over the license is retuned. This little trick has put a stop to people driving off without paying. There are about half a dozen wild but semi-tame Dingoes hanging around Nullarbor Road House which come up to people looking for a feed.
During our trip so far we have spoken to many seasoned travellers and they all assured us that across the Nullarbor it's better stop at one of the scenic bush parking areas rather than a caravan park. On advice from one such traveller we stopped at a parking area called Bunda Cliffs, some 85km East of Eucla, after travelling a total of 520km for the day.
We parked about 100mt from the high cliffs that form the Great Australian Bight, with a grand view over the mighty Southern Ocean on one side and endless Nullarbor plain on the other.
As rare as these events are out here, we were lucky enough to experience heavy rain with hail while parked at Bunda Cliffs. As you would expect, out here in the middle of nowhere, on a moonless cloudy night, it was as dark as I have ever seen it.
There was no phone reception and hence no internet connection either, that why this post hasn't appeared on the blog until just now.
