We set off early this morning, well that’s a little confusing because WA is 2 hours behind but between Belladonia and Eucla they have adopted a non official time which is 45 minutes ahead of WA then when you arrive in SA you change time zones again.
Along the highway today are several lookouts, the Great Australian Bight Marine Park which stretches for hundreds of kilometres. Stunning views all along the rugged coastline.
We stopped at the roadhouse at Nundroo where very near the petrol bowsers was a small aircraft for scenic flights. It’s not often you see a plane at the petrol station.
The other thing you don’t see very often is the signs that tell you that the highway also doubles as a Royal Flying Doctor runway for landings for emergencies. Every so often along the road you will see the white lines painted on the highway and a sign to say it’s a landing strip for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
