Just West of Ceduna we stopped for lunch at this local church. It's name is a little unusual for a church - Denial Bay Lutheran Church. A cute little stop, except for the 3,000,000 flies that swarmed us!! It was a quick lunch and on to our stop at Streaky Bay!!
This shot is of the Nullabor Plain 'proper'. The treeless plain is actually all in South Australia and goes for about 150km...it's the boring part...
There is quite a drop off the cliffs into the chilly Southern Ocean waters and the signs along the edges are quite clear about the dangers of falling cliff edges and to keep back....
We stopped along the roadside a few times to check out some more Australian Bight Cliffs. These cliffs make up the longest cliff face in the world and are quite spectacular!!
Finally, the SA border!! Here travellers into WA have to stop and hand over fruit and veggies. Those going east (us) have until Ceduna about 200+km away to eat what they can before handing over. (Seems like a cheap lunch for collection officers)...
The Nullabor isn't as boring as one might think. It has several areas where the visitor can turn off and check out the coastal cliffs...here the Princess is doing lunch assisted by her little elf Sam...
This is a typical view of the straight section...and on, and on, it goes...
One section of the crossing in WA in recognised as the straightest section of road in Australia - all 146km of it. Lee drove this section of road...
We left Kalgoorlie for the 'big trip' across the Nullabor into South Australia. The trip went well and we were 'accosted' by the Norseman Police doing licence checks (or was it Santa in disguise as a policemen?). Anyhow they were good fun and doing a good job...
