Map: Cocklebiddy to Eucla, just west of the WA/SA state border.  The town of Forrest lie on the Indian-Pacific railway. 

A very overcast day to begin our journey with.

Road sign, with roadkill beside it. 

Madura Pass - the long ribbon of road goes by the Hampton Tableland.

Another view of the Nullabor.

Morning tea at Mundrabilla Road House - beside a vintage vehicle for sale.


Roadhouse owner doesn't like dogs.

Who let the dog out!!?!

Eucla

Old telegraph station partially covered by the shifting dunes.

Finally, we are out of Western Australia!

Map: from the state border to Nundroo (marked by "A"), our overnight stop.  Cook is a stop on the Indian-Pacific railway.

 We stopped to see the Nullabor cliffs.

 

We also stopped at the Head of the Bight, where between May and October, whales pass on their migratory journeys

They have these long boardwalks for viewing the whale migrations from.

Yalata - a disused roadhouse, just before our overnight break.
