I call the nularbor boring but its really isn't.

We left Ceduna with the view of a lovely rainbow. We then headed for Penong which is known as the town of windmills. Carey really wanted to take apicture of a rainroof as he calls it befre we got to Penong. He had even remembered about how many kms it was east of Penong. We found it and got the necessary photo plus a photo of the reason for it. It is actually an under ground water tank in the middle of nowhere. About 89 existed before articulated water.

We then went into Penong and visited the petrol station. Then took a short walk to look at the largest aussie windmill made.

Then off we went again heading towards Nundroo. Again Carey had pleasure in informing me about the places he had to park before travelling through the Yalata Mission with pipe for the mine that was being established behind the mission. A proper road now goes around the mission.

Just before Yalata we crossed a grid that is part of the dog fence. Built to keep the dingo off farm land on the eastern side. The grid is wider than the cattle grids you often cross.

Took photos of the trees on the side of the road as I knew we would soon reach the nullarbor plains where there are no trees for miles.

We soon reached the head of the bight turning where a sign told us 9 whales were in. We headed out to the whale lookout. $12 each was soon well spent. The rain came down heavily for the first 10 minutes but we were able to have a coffee and tea while waiting for it to clear. Once the rain stopped we walked out to the lookouts. We spent well over an hour just watching the whales lay around in the water occasionally lifting a tail or flipper. It was a lovely experience and so different to our last visit 11 years ago.

Then headed to Nullarbor Roadhouse. It was a photo op for Sam with Kondo the whale. Then off we went again across the plain. The next photo opportunity for Sam and i being the first of the highway airstrips. It was probably the best maintained.

We then reached border village for another couple of photo opportunities. Firstly the kangaroo in SA with his jar of vegemite and then just after the quaratine check point was the actual border line. We all got to stand in two states including the car.

13km and we hit Eucla our accommodation for the night. While here we took the opportunity to look at the ruins of the old telegraph station. Here we met up with a cuple of Emus who wished to trvel across the same route as us. Both males human and bird wanted right of way. Scarey watching them eyeballing each other wasn't sure who was going to win. Then Carey waved his arms and made loud noises so the Emu gave in. My heart was able to go back to normal. We were then able to explore the ruins. Tthe sand dunes have reclaimed lots of the building.
