We left Adelaide and headed up the coast towards Port Augusta. We stopped in at Port Germein and walked along the longest jetty in South Australia (possibly Australia), over 1.5km long...
Once we hit Port Augusta we travelled west along the Eyre Highway and that night we stopped in near Streaky Bay for a sleep. The next morning the kids sat beside the bay for a couple of hours and completed some school work. Then we hit the road for the rest of the day. We stopped at the 'Head of The Great Australian Bight'...
The water was so blue and the sand dunes were massive and white as snow to the east of the head and then there were cliffs up to 90m high to the west of the head of the bight.
I always thought the Nullabor was further inland, however since planning this trip I discovered that most of the way you are driving parallel to the coast only several km away. At one point the cliffs in S.A., near the W.A. border, are within 100m from the highway.
The kids got out of the car at the Quarantine Inspection Station on the S.A./W.A. border and jumped from S.A. into W.A. and back again over and over...
The landscape was barren and harsh, mostly with small dry shrubs along a flat plain. At times there were a few trees but it went back to the shrub plains, for hours and hours....
Finally on the third day we hit Norseman, the end of the Eyre Highway and we travelled south to Esperance.
