Dog Rusty and I spent several weeks crisscrossing the amazing
Nullarbor. It’s called the flattest place on Earth. In the north, the
railway runs straight for 478km (297miles) without a bend. Once we
camped where the moist climate of the ocean meets the dry air of the
inland. That’s a battle line and produces the fiercest sunrises I have
ever seen (see one at http://www.oz-greetings.com.au/photo). In the
south are the forbidding Nullarbor cliffs battered by the Southern
Ocean. At the Head of Bight is a major breeding and calving site for
the huge Southern Right Whale. One can view them from the top of the
cliffs - the best viewing spot in the world. Thankfully, tourists
stick to the perfect highway. I love the inland. From horizon to
horizon nothing more than ankle-high. It’s otherworldly. And the night
sky is overwhelming.
(If interested: there is a detailed article about it on the same
site).
Greetings - Klaus & Rusty |
