Nullarbor Crossing days 2 and 3

ML Nullarbor Roadhouse was $30 per powered site, no water of course and $1 for a shower by coin for about 5 minutes. The amenities are basic but clean. It was quiet and we all had a good night's  sleep. The weather was cloudy and cool as we left the next morning. We knew it would be a good day's travel there were four good lookouts along the coast to see. The sun came out as we got to the first lookout a lovely view of the Bunda Cliffs. 

       
                                          Awesome views of the Bunda Cliffs

         
                                  
It's still a bit cool at the coastal lookouts, but pleasant for the short walks to view the lovely scenery.
We always pull in to a rest stop about two hours of leaving our overnight stops. Elaine and I do a thermos for coffee and one of us has a snack to go with it. 


The Nullarbor crossing has a good highway,mostly straight. We have not sighted any wildlife yet, the last kangaroo was in Ceduna. 



                        Another coastal lookout closer to Eucla, our next overnight stop after our day's drive of nearly 400 klms. We had to have our vans inspected at the WA border. We ate our fruit earlier and cooked veges in the microwave.

                                 No doctor for over 1,000 klms except for the Royal Flying Doctor.

                                       The view from Eucla Roadhouse caravan park

The amenities block was very clean and more modern than others we have seen. Eucla Roadhouse was one of the better ones we have stayed at.  $25 per powered site and $1 for the shower. I appreciated the nice hot shower. 

        
                                                                  Parked at Eucla

The drive from Eucla to Caiguna Roadhouse today was pleasant and a different landscape also away from the coast. We followed the Hampton Range for a while, it broke the monotony of the plains.
We stopped at Cocklebiddy Roadhouse for a break and bought some hot chips. I drove for 150 klms.
