And so to Eucla

The many hours spent on the road today was broken by 2 events :-
1. We left the Nullarbor to drive down an escarpment to another plain (with slightly more vegetation – hard to tell though).
2. When we go to Eucla we had to drive back up the escarpment to get to the town.

This may sound boring – but the very sparseness of this country is it’s beauty – at least Dad did not get tired from having to steer around bends all day!

We were first into the Caravan Park and as such managed to get our first site on the whole trip with a view – which we protected with our wit and cunning. And now we get to wake up in the morning to look out of bed at the Southern Ocean in the distance (tough life ain’t it?).

Speaking of wit and cunning - Rosemary can now write a book on how to gain and then protect ones territory in Caravan Park Laundries. We’re open to suggestions but we think the title should be “An elbow is far more effective than a sharp tongue”

On sunset Dad and the Girls went down to the old Telegraph station which is now being taken over by sand dunes (had to get a photo for the Blog….)
