The Nullabor…

Pitstop!

In the middle of no-where!

The Great Australian Bight

Not exactly treeless!

Avoiding the mice plagues we powered on over the Nullabor to get to SA as quickly as possible, apparently it was the worst mice plague in 12 years, we heard a few crazy stories of people getting bombarded by mice in the middle of the night.  Thankfully no mice in the van, or the car for the whole journey, YAY!  Unfortunately the weather was pretty ordinary whilst traveling so windy conditions & cloudy days made for poor photography opportunities.  I think this journey would be best done in whale season, we'd just missed it, but the Great Australian Bight is still beautiful with its souring cliffs merely dropping off into the deep blue.

Esperance, WOW!  What can I say…. truly breathtaking & remarkable.  Its colder here but that’s about its only downfall.  The scenery is unlike any other, whitest of white sand, red high souring cliffs, bluest of blue ocean.  The Cape Le Grand National Park is another one of those MUST DO’s!!!!  We were camping at Lucky Bay, there’s water, hot solar showers & shady camp spots.  All the beaches are as beautiful as each other, Lucky Bay is the ‘whitest beach in the world’. We also visited the very new Stonehenge in Esperence, a replica of the original Stonehenge, made totally to scale out of solid granite, the large blocks are 30 tonne each & it aligns with the Solice.
