The Nullarbor Plain

After 8 months on this trip we are heading back east. To do this means crossing the Nullarbor Plain, WA to SA.

"Bunda Cliffs". "Part of the Great Australian Bight" and our 3rd overnight stop. The white layers at the bottom of the cliffs is "Wilson Limestone" (30-40 million years old).

Bear with me for I have just now after 8 months worked out how to do "voice Over" on my videos. Be gentle with me, it is my first attempt. :)

Next stop - The Eyre Peninsula SA

We have decided that we will be in Sydney Christmas/New Year to spend time with family before heading home so this little BLOG is coming to an end.

There will probably be one or two more short posts but our journey from here on will be mainly straight forward. Except for wineries in Mildura.

To those who have followed our little story, particularly our most avid readers, our friends Erika and Peter from the UK, thank you very much for following.

There will be a short "wrap up" when we get home around the end of January.

Thanks All....

Kalgoorlie - A town built on Gold

The 1893 gold rush resulted in the discovery of the Golden Mile, one of the richest gold deposits in the world.

The "Super Pit" or at least some of it.

In 2019 KCGM celebrated its 30th anniversary and poured its 50,000th bar of gold, bringing the total produced from the Golden Mile to over 60 million ounces in the 120 years since the lease was first pegged

We toured a couple of the museums, had dinner at the brewery and just for something completely different we did a tour of the last operating house of ill repute in Kalgoorlie, the "Questa Casa" or "Pink House", the only original brothel left in Hay Street and the oldest in Australia, which started business in the 1890s. The current Madam (owner for 30years) was informative and and at times very funny.

The trucks here are HUGE. 300-400 tonnes capacity.

And the machine to load them... Even bigger.

Our visit to the mining museum.

I am here for the tour only - Honest....

Esperance and Lucky Bay

Beaches and Bays.

We have not, during this trip, tried to compare places we have visited, but if we did Lucky Bay would be up near the top.

The view across Lucky Bay from our camp site.

Unfortunately the weather was not flash (wind and rain) and the photos will not do it justice but you will get some idea how fantastic this part of the coastline is.

Lucky Bay

Taking a "Tern" for the better... (Caspian Tern that is)

Cape Le Grand Beach

Hellfire Bay - The colours were stunning

2 fossils at "Hellfire Bay"

Didn't catch anything but didn't care.

"Casa del Wilson" or "Cirrhosis by the Sea" both names are apt :)

The only place Joey could get his head out of the wind.
