We stayed the night at Murphy’s Haystacks, these aren’t haystacks but Inselbergs, rock formations caused by the elements. Technically inselbergs meaning (a hill that looks like a rocky island rising sharply from the sea.)
It was a wet and windy night but we awoke to some blue sky and no rain so a quick walk around to see if anything had changed since our previous visits, No nothing … We paid our $10 camp fee and $2 donation and we’re on our way.
A night along the Nullarbor prior to Yalata was another early to bed rain free night. Up early the next morning we continued our journey West. We came across a truck accident which already had the police in attendance, a few other trucks had also stopped and as we went past we could see a Truck and it’s trailer laying on its side well off the road. At the WA /SA border inspection we were told the driver and passenger had been flown to Hospital but as far as they knew would be ok.
A few kilometres down the highway we drove into the Old Telegraph Station road at Eucla, it’s been many years since we visited and we had not ever been down to the beach, Dave & Jo had and wanted to se it again, We all checked out the Telegraoh ruins and Dave and I walked the 2.4 klms to the beach and back. It was a slog but glad we did it and interesting to see the wooden pier structure still standing, though partly demolished by the sea & weather.
Our night tonight is at the Madura Pass lookout, A beautiful night for star gazing and Satellite spotting, Dave and I saw around 8 satellites and a falling star so that was our night finished.
