Western Australia stops fruit crossing the border so tonight I am eating bananas.
From 2019 I am living a more relaxed life. After 35 years I am retired from engineering practice.
You can expect me to mention retirement projects, travel and of course the beloved.
My hobbies may include nature, camping, repair, and reading.

Nullarbor Roadhouse
Nullarbor Roadhouse packs in the caravans. Each Site has power but not water.
In the showers you pay for hot water.
The Right Whale
At the Head of the Great Australian Bight.
We watched a mother and calf cruise past immediately below the lookouts and very active whale vigorously slapping its tail under the cliffs.

Recycled Telescope
Once an earth station run by OTC. Now it is a radio astronomy telescope operated by University of Tasmania.
About 70km North of Ceduna at the end of OTC Road - a wide unsealed road with some slippery patches.
You cannot do anything except look at it and take a photo.
Shelly Beach
We have reached the Southern Ocean.
Shelly Beach near Ceduna lives up to its name.
The overcast skies and rain continue as they have since Moree - a week ago.
