It's a long way with not much to see. From time to time you get lookouts to see the Bunda cliffs. But the best way to see the cliffs by far, is to drive the short distance into Head of Bight. The whale watching season has just finished there, but the view on the cliffs and water was spectacular
Shortly before the Nullarbor Roadhouse the landscape started to change and the tree-less plains very replaced by some rolling hills and the occasional grain field.
Another lonely freecamp on the way to Ceduna
Ceduna is the first town in South Australia, some 400 km after the border. It's also the checkpoint, where you have to have eaten all your veggies and fruit. ( I had a very healthy diet the last couple of days to use it all up)

I had a lovely chat to the lady at the information centre and after some grocery shopping I headed off towards Laura Bay - the place the info lady recommended. Unfortunately the place wasn't suitable for a caravan so I drove on to Haslam, a tiny little fisher town where I camped for $5 on the town camping lot.
Next day I decided to take it slow and check out some of the local attractions around Streaky Bay. First on the list was Cape Bauer with it's whistling rocks - when the waves push into the rocks, some breather holes sound like a giant whale is breathing out. Would certainly be spooky at night if you don't know what causes this.
Another bit down the road is Point Labott - where you can look down on the only breading colony on mainland Australia of the Australian Sea Lion! Just spectacular seeing those creatures in the wild.

On the way out to the main road you drive past Murphy's Haystack. A very unusual rock formation. I'm staying here for the night for the outrages sum of $2. Dennis Cash or 'Cashy' - the farmer even came down for a yarn and together with another couple we chatted until it got dark.
