From our free camp near Penong we hit the Eyre Highway again and made our way to another free camp near Koonalda. The Eyre Hightway takes you through the Yalata Aboriginal Reserve and into the Nullarbor National Park. We stopped at the "Head of the Bite" for lunch. This is a look out over the great Australian bite and southern ocean. From May to October southern right whatles come here to bread. We missed the whales by two weeks. To the east of the bite ther...

A slight issue with the van as the battery is not holding a charge. So we packed up and headed to Ceduna to find a replacement. If you are reading this Julian - take your generator!

The tennis player Pat Cash and his family also come from the area. The area around here, like the York and Eyre Peninsula is all cropping. Mr Cash has 40...

We stayed at Coffin Bay National Park close to the water on the 20/04. It is a nice park and is famous for it's huge sand dunes. We all had fun after a bit of four wheel driving to get to them. You are able to drive on the beach and around the massive dunes. It was a great spot to stay.
