On the way.....

At last, here we are for our first trip report. It took a while, but then we are stil getting used to traveling again. On the day we left we went via Bendigo to MILDURA. We had thought of staying there for a few days, but the busyness of the city made us change our mind and kept going and stopped at Inglewood. We started our first day well, I lost my credit-card, had to cancel it and order a new one, so no credit until Perth. We decided to leave Adelaide for a visit on the way back and toured the Eyre Peninsula instead and stayed a couple of days in Cowell along the coast, did a bit of sightseeing,driving along dirttracks. You see people camping all along the coast there, tucked away in the sanddunes. We stayed at Waterloo-Bay and then off to the Nullabor, that 2000 and a bit long kilometres stretch. You don't have to feel lonely there as almost all drivers greet along the way.We didsome free camping along the road and met some interesting people staying there as well. What impressed us most, was the nightsky. I have never see so many stars in such clear skies, the milky way is just unbelievable. A picture of Murphies'Haystacks, the Nullabors' answer to Englands' Stonehedge and EasterIsland.
The sand dunes at Fowler Bay start within walking distance of the caravan park and continue for miles.We climbed to the top for a different view of the world.

Every now and then along the highway is a sidetrack that leads you to a view over the Southern Ocean. No problems there when the waters will rise due to global warming. Vicki took a picture of me standing on the edge, see if you can find me.

We are in Esperance along the South coast.This is a beautiful town with a 35 kms great Ocean drive with spectacular views of white beaches and deep blue waters. To-morrow we shall be off to Albany, see what they have to offer.
