Ceduna to Nullarbor Roadhouse, SA

After two weeks in Ceduna we were excited to hit the 'frog and toad' again and head west along the Nullarbor. During our 300 kilometre journey we passed through the wheat fields of Penong, the native indigenous lands of Yalata and into the abyss of the flattest and most treeless land in Australia. The extreme flat of the Nullarbor Plain is created by a limestone shelf that stretches along the coast of the Great Australian Bight for about 1,000 kilometres. The absence of trees or structures gives the ominous impression the sky is falling in, as there is no sense of perspective. But what an incredible experience to feel first hand and a definite must for any traveller. After we jumped in front of signs, marvelled at the landscape and unhitched Florence at the Nullarbor Roadhouse Caravan Park, we took a drive to the Head of Bight, then returned for an impressive feed of Snapper, served at a restaurant with its only source of water from a bore, desalinated onsite, and watched the sun go down over the vastness that is the Nullarbor Plain.
