Day 4 Eucla 13/5/14

We had an early start this morning. We left Streaky Bay just as the sun was rising. The sky was beautiful.20140513-161354.jpg
We stopped to make our breakfast at Ceduna, and ate it while looking out at the ocean. It was very nice and refreshing!

Our next ‘pitstop’ was at Penong. Penong is also known as the Town of 100 Windmills. Apparently, the general store there was the last shop for 1000km! By this they mean groceries I think! 20140514-071704.jpg20140514-071737.jpg20140514-071836.jpg
Here is another road warning sign – the famous trio! (It appears in a lot if brochures, we’ve found)20140514-071950.jpg
We stopped for lunch at Head of Bight. We went to the lookout to see if we could see any whales, and we did get a glimpse of a Southern Right Whale! The cliffs and the aqua-blue waters were just spectacular!!20140514-072216.jpg20140514-072317.jpg
Further along, we stopped at another picturesque lookout.20140514-072430.jpg
At the border between South Australia and Western Australia, we had our car and caravan searched for fruits, plants and vegetables. Unfortunately Mum’s Mother’s Day gift from Tess had to be tipped out, because it was a plant. 20140514-073148.jpg
Our plan was to stay the night at Eucla (which is just over the border) but after crossing the border, and turning our clocks back, we realised that we were all feeling pretty good, and could actually keep driving for a bit longer. So we drove about a further 60km before stopping at a roadside camp where we stopped the night. We were able to have a fire there, so we cooked our dinner on the fire! It was lots of fun!20140514-073214.jpg

  1. You’re so lucky to see a whale, my friend & I sat at the Head for ages & all we saw was vultures circling above us! Beautiful shots.

  2. Wow. Some of your photos will be able to entered in photography competitions when you get home! (Even the peas & chips might win for originality!)
