This could be my last postings for awhile as we will be crossing the Nullarbor
Lately every time i try for a sunset or rise the heavy clouds move in 15 mins beforehand, most frustrating
We will be heading out across the Nullarbor on Wed. so I made the most of it to-night.
Ceduna is very much a solitary hub town that serves the Far Western Coastal areas of South Australia. Heading to the West the nearest town of any size is Norseman, some 1200 kilometers away; and to the East 480 kilometers away is the town of Port Augusta, located on the main route to Adelaide and the Eastern States. Ceduna is a corruption of the local Aboriginal word "Chedoona" and is said to mean a place to sit down and rest. For the traveler crossing the Nullarbor, in either an easterly or westerly direction, Ceduna is indeed a very welcome overnight rest stop.
Located on the scenic shores of Murat Bay, Ceduna is a town of some 4000 people supported by a number of local industries, including wheat farming, gypsum mining, salt mining, and commercial fishing for a number of local fish species such as the much renowned King George Whiting, Snapper, Garfish, Prawns and Lobsters which are known to South Australians as "Cray Fish".
