You know that the things being moved on the Eyre Hwy are BIG when you have to pull off the road completely! This was a couple of huge bulldozers that were headed west - probably to the mines.

A good leg stretcher was the Old Telegraph Station at Eucla. It is consumed by the dunes now, but in its heyday, it connected WA with the rest of Australia and the world. The kids (and adults alike) had a ball going through the different rooms. Some were completely full of sand; others only half full. There is graffiti etched into the walls - some of it before even Mark or I were born. So graffiti is not a recent thing.
We have really gotten into this goecaching thing. There was one located at Eucla and not very far from the Telegraph Station, so Tom and I tok off to find it. The flies were incredible though!

Leaving WA and headed into SA
Along the Aust Bight, we were directed to another cache. Mark didn't want to try and find it, but after some persuasion (!), he relented and drove us there. What an AMAZING location. We would have actually camped here, but there was already a couple there and given that it was a bit of drive in to the site, we didn't want to disturb their peace with our raucous kids. The photo of Biddy below, doesn't do the vista any justice at all, because you can't tell what a steep drop off it actually is. And the view was just incredible.
The geocache was located OVER the edge of the cliff in an underhang. I sent Tom over the edge to look for it!! But there wasn't any real danger....provided he kept his footing!

We pulled into Naullarbor Roadhouse at about 6.30pm, but it was dark at this point. This was a "friend" that appeared looking for a feed. The things you see when you don't have a gun......
