MURPHYS HAYSTACKS, ACROSS THE NULLABOR AND ON TO NORSMAN

The last entry was waking up to a heavy dew and fog. I love seeing the droplets of water on the wire fence and seeing everything shrouded in a fog just thick enough not to obscure everything but leave silouettes of the trees, rocks etc. How surreal!!

As the fog lifted and the sun shone brightly, everything was so crisp and clear. Just a few clouds and brilliant blue sky - just magic!

We walked over passed the main rocks to another lot named "The Ladies". Different shapes but just as awesome.

How amazing are the colours in this rock!!!

The morning was getting quite warm. Barb and Jen were having fun exploring the area.

It was time to move on. The road was now very straight. We were well and truly on our way across the Nullabor.

We stopped at the Nullabor Roadhouse for fuel.

So on we went along that straight stretch of road. These signs are dotted along the road to warn of the animals that may want to cross. Luckily we didn't encounter any!!!

We finally arrived at cliffs. We parked and walked to the edge of Australia. What can I say - it never ceases to amaze me.

Barb and Tony went back for their jackets. It was very windy.

We drove along and stopped at the Bunda Cliffs. The view along these cliffs are just something else ... I don't think I will ever see a sight as mesmerising anywhere else in Australia.

As you can see by the state of our hair how windy it was. Not Arnold's hair though LOL.

Just the two of us having a cuddle ... aaawh!!!

The next shot is looking back the other way - just as spectacular don't you think.

Jennifer is not really standing as close to the edge as it looks.

We finally had our fill of the magnificent views and were back in the car when we decided to get a shot of ourselves in the wing mirror. I wasn't too sure how it would turn out but it's quite okay.

Eucla is the border and checkpoint for certain foods that can't be taken into WA. We had our car and caravan searched and were given the all clear to go through.

We drove down to the Old Telegraph Station at Eucla. The sand is constantly being dug out so that visitors can see the remains of the building.

I always like to draw in the sand to say where we are. My thongs are just an emblishment LOL.

We left the Old Telegraph Station and drove on to a freecamp. I love happy hour ... only one drink or three.

I decided to make some doughnuts. They are so yummy and they can be eaten cold the following day and taste just as good.

The following day we stopped for morning tea and saw these old cars. Jennifer decided to sit inside. She is so game - luckily nothing venomous was lurking there.

A bit of an effort to get out though!!!

After driving on for a while we passed a hotrod towing a caravan. We had seen a few of these and wondered where they had been. Perhaps a rally of sorts.

Another freecamp and another sunset. What beautiful colours!!

This is the life!

Finally we reached Norsman. This town was named after a horse which sensed gold and pounded its hoof on the ground to unearth it... or something like that. This bronze has been erected on a corner in the main street.

On another corner are these corrugated cutouts of camels to depict the importance of the camel in getting supplies etc to people in outback areas.

We had a look around the main area of Norsman and then it was time to move on to our next freecamp before getting to Esperance and further on. So until the next entry, take care and goodnight.
