Ceduna (South Australia) to Esperance ( Western Australia)

 Our mascot - Jules takes up pole position on the dashboard.

AHHHH,  a rest stop. Maybe , the whales have arrived. 
The  Nullabor Plain - the treeless plane.

 Harry's pet and Jules the trip mascot.


The Head of the Great Australian Bight - A whale safe zone.


Jules enjoys the view. 

Australian Fur seals playing about. 

 Can you see Antarctica?  It's just to the right slightly.
 Don't step backwards, you'll end up in the bight.

 Ah, the border. Hand over all your fruit, honey and vegetables.
 The main highway acts as a landing strip in certain parts for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
 Our overnight camp in the desert.

The Golf Gnome visits Caiguna Roadhouse. 

A golf hole in the middle of the Nullabor. The greens are in immaculate condition. 



 Harry scores a par, whilst Jackson and Richard have a 3 over par.Once you get caught in the rough, you in deep trouble.



This stretch is deadset straight, not a line out place. 
Camels on the Nullabor, we thought the camel signs where a bit of a joke and then we saw them cruising along. 


Straight as an arrow. 
Cape Le Grand National Park, Esperance, Western Australia.


 Hellfire Bay.




 The Rock colour and water colour are quite stunning, the photos are a little dull in comparison to real life.




 The locals coming down for a drink.

 4WD adventure along Rossitter Beach.


Sand duning again.


Esperance's wave rock. 


Where has all the food gone? 




 Our trek up and down Frenchman's cap.


The view was brilliant. 










 The plant life in the unforgiving environment is quite stunning.
Here are some close ups of the plant life.
