Below, a goods train goes by Lake Hart in South Australia. Again, vast amounts of salt can be seen.
We made a little detour to Woomera. The area has been used since the 1950s for joint Australia-United Kingdom weapons testing(including that of nuclear weapons at Maralinga, not too far away).
More recently, it has been the site of a refugee detention centre.
A monument to the Australian farmer, in a town in the SA wheatbelt.
Back at Port Augusta again! No wonder they call themselves the crossroads of Australia.
Lunch stop at a very nice pub in Ceduna.
The Eyre Highway doubles up as a runway for the Royal Flying Doctor Service in parts of SA.
Not a zebra crossing - this is the start/end of the runway segment.
The same also occurs in WA.
More salt (Lake Cowan).
We stopped to see some of the Nullarbor cliffs we missed on the way up.
The southern end of the continent!
Cheryl sees the light!
Roadtrain at sunset.
Same sunset reflected in motel window.
We stopped at Balladonia to see the Skylab debris which crashed into WA in 1979.
After another night or two, we finally reached home. Thanks for following us on our journey.
