Today was a pretty big day as we covered the eastern half of the Nullarbor Plain. We left Ceduna and travelled the Eyre Highway, stopping at Penong, Nundroo, Nullarbor Roadhouse before finishing at Bunda Cliffs on the Great Australian Bight for a night of free camping. Bunda Cliffs is magnificent as I’m sure you’ll agree after you see the photo below. We are only a few metres from the edge of the cliffs and a 80+ metre drop to the Southern Ocean below. Great care is required when walking around at night, plus the fact its as windy as buggery so not going too close to the edge is prudent.

At Penong we stopped at the Windmill museum and I also played the 4th hole of the Nullarbor Links Golf course, which was a unique experience. Nundroo was for a quick bite to eat and a leg stretch and a fuel stop at Nullarbor Roadhouse for Steve.

We had the perfect day for travelling west, with no wind, sunny but only 25 degrees. The consensus is to don’t travel clockwise around Australia because of the winds across the Nullarbor will kill your fuel economy but we were lucky today, the wind picked up after we had stopped for the day.

We may stop here for a couple of days depending on the wind, as the location is great. We have no Telstra service (which means you will be reading this after we have left), so we are completely remote from the outside world and all the crap that’s going on! Thankfully we travelled today and not yesterday, as it would have been very annoying not knowing if the Tiges had won. Thankfully they did and we didn’t.
