After another 600km day we have arrived in Ecula. It is basically just a road stop but a nice one. The Nullarbor is interesting if you take the time to get off the road and have a look. It is far from boring and every stop has been so interesting along the Marine Bight. Here you can see from our little camp park the road leading down to the water. Here we just parked slept and left early the next morning.
Eucla is the west side of the WA boarder. Here we were licenced check and tried to work out the time. Crossing the boarder is like going through time warp. I asked the police what the time was but they didn't seem to know as they avoided the question. People say there is Eucla time perhaps this is because in this part of the world no one really knows what time it is. It is a really peculiar situation. Through this part of the highway there are somewhere 2 time changes from 45 minutes then to 2.5 hours, but I don't think anyone is quite sure where this all takes place. So we followed our own time and made it through to another 600 km to Penong, SA the town of 100 windmills. Here we went off road (unmarked) to Cactus Beach (after some local directions) where we exited all amenities, hook ups, and the world for a few days.
