We have travelled across the Nullabor Plain and once again it has been a big surprise to us. We have driven the section which is the longest straightest bit of road in Australia or was it the world. It has been more interesting that we expected. We saw signs to watch out for camels, emus and kangaroos. We have seen quite a few emus,some kangaroos but no camels. We have seen lots of large lizards sunning themselves in the middle of the road or crossing it very slowly.
It was quite a surprise to drive over two passes, the first, Madura Pass, has a lookout at the peak with views forever over the plains and the second pass is at Eucla where we stayed at the one and only motel there.
We ventured out from Eucla and clambered over the sand dunes to see the old Telegraph station, the jetty and the beautiful beach with its pearly white sand and beautiful turquoise water.
There is a lookout at the top of Eucla Pass with a travellers cross which is lit up at night. From the lookout you can see miles of beach and the white sandstone cliffs.
