Day 73....to Ceduna

Along the Nullabor, from Norseman to Ceduna, there is an 18 hole golf course. It costs $70.00 ot get a card and play, and at the end you get a certificate to say you did it. This is one of the holes...it looks nothing like the picture...it's dirt and fake grass!
We must have seen about seven car wrecks, just left in the scrub alongside the road.
Here are the two cyclists we met last night. They were up early, and left a fair while before us. When we caught up to them, they had gone 49kms in 2 hours...not bad going. They're doing it to raise money for breast cancer research I think.
Most of the way along the Nullabor, there is a ridge running along beside the road to your north...when travelling east that is.
 It didn't peter out until Eucla, just before the South Australian border.
There were several of these signs along the way.
 We never saw a camel, a wombat or a live kangaroo....just occasional road kill!
A few kms east of Eucla there was a viewing point to see the Great Australian Bight. You run along parallel to the Bight for hundreds of kms, but this is the only place you see it, unless you drive out along a dirt road to see it...and there weren't many places you could do that.
Things have become civilized again now...mainly wheat and sheep farms.
 This is near Penong, not long before Ceduna. We rather liked the windmill collection.
Ceduna at last!
