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".

From Dust the bricks are made, and to Dust they shall return

The Eyre Peninsular has some of the most beautiful sea views and seaside villages in South Australia.

has a beautiful portfolio of these beaches, most are award winning shots.
We took the road less used to cross the Peninsular, Not the Highway and not the Coast road but one in between.
We lost Internet and phone connection but travelled an amazing dry country (with not a vineyard in sight :-( )

More of these later
