Day 115: Baxter Rest Area to Bunda Cliffs
Today we got up early and continued our trek across the Nullarbor. First we finished the second half of the 90 Mile Straight. At the end we found ourselves in Caiguna, the first of many roadhouses that we stopped at today for petrol. A number of the roadhouses between Norseman and Ceduna have a single golf hole - in total there are 18 holes that make up the longest golf course in the world.
During the day we stopped at:
- Cocklebiddy Roadhouse - to see the two rescued wedge tail eagles.
- Madura Roadhouse - where we had lunch
- Mundrabilla Roadhouse - which has some beautiful emu murals.
- Eucla Roadhouse - which was the fanciest of the roadhouses with the best playground, and even a pool!
The Madura Roadhouse was situated just below an escarpment that we followed for almost 200km until Eucla. There were some stunning views as we descended through the Madura Pass and back up again through the Eucla Pass.
Eucla Roadhouse was our last stop in Western Australia. A few more kilometers down the road and we crossed back into South Australia. We stopped at the Boarder Village to see the big kangaroo before continuing down the road to the Peg 51 Rest Area for the night. The campsite was perched on top of the Bunda Cliffs, with the Southern Ocean 90m below us. We arrived in time to see the sunset along the coast, then laid in bed while being lulled to sleep by the waves booming up against the cliffs.
