Telecom Cable Markers

As we cross the Nullarbor, the Telecom Australia Optical fibre posts kept pace sometimes North of the highway and sometimes South.

Notoriously in Western Australia, the local Xmas tree would cut the cable.

The tree is parasitic and is roots grow nodules to cut into roots of other trees to tap nutrients.

Weird Legend

At the Mundrabilla Roadhouse is a strange story on a brass plaque.

I do not understand what it is about.

Was a novelist forced to work for a road building contractor?

Cocklebiddy Picnic

The weathered picnic table at Cocklebiddy Roadhouse. 

Ecula

Parts of the Ecula caravan park are shady and have ocean views. 

This is another caravan park without water.

Edge of the Nullarbor

We had an easy drive from the Nullarbor Roadhouse to Ecula.

Along the way are three well signposted lookouts.

At the lookouts the undermining of the cliffs was obvious. 

Banana Custard

Western Australia stops fruit crossing the border so tonight I am eating bananas.

Nullarbor Roadhouse

Nullarbor Roadhouse  packs in the caravans. Each Site has power but not water.

In the showers you pay for hot water.
