Twilight Beach

The rain and strong wind mean that no one is swimming at Twilight Beach.

Sharks are no problem - there is a warning system. 

Skylab Graveyard

Esperance celebrates that on 12 July 1979 parts of Skylab crashed scattering pieces between Esperance and Balladonia. 

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.
