Desert drive via Gary Junction Road is over and heading to the coast, Scotts Beach west of Fowlers bay. A brief stop in Alice Springs for fresh fruit and veggies and we are off!
No one's going to touch the trike!
Road Kill! In Australia the Kangaroos have a tendancy to jump out from behind scrub or just go across the road in front of vehicles and no way to avoid them.
Lone cyclist heading up hill to Darwin, a tail wind was sure helping.
South Marla rest area - South Bound freight train, 63 containers
Yep! it's 'STRAIGHT'
North Bound freight train - 85 assorted containers a lot of refrigerated containers.
Refueled at Coober Pedy, camped at Mulga Well North. Taking the short cut thru the Gawler Ranges via Kingoonya and Wirrulla to Haslam. Third trip through here, generally a good dirt road, but lower tire pressures advised for s comfortable journey
Early morning from Haslam jetty - no fish to speak of, a few squid landed
Before getting back on the black top to Scotts Beach - 223k's
Crossed the Nullabor!
Re-stock in Ceduna. No plastic shopping bag's in South Australia, hand made bag from shade cloth.
Camp is set up complete with wind flag on the sand hill!
TIME TO GO FISHIN!
Relaxing way to fish off the beach
Our resident Pelican
Low tide pickings off the reef!
Rain on the way! did not eventuale to much, just settled the dust!
Magic coast line!
Wind erosion, and it blew for 10 days out of the 15 we were here!
Now you can see why they are called 'Blue Tongue Lizards' along with 'Bob Tails' or 'Sleepy Lizards'
No rain on the beach!
Inch or Bull Ant - nasty pincher's and you sure know if bitten by one!
Checking the wheel bearings after the desert drive! All in good shape, re-packed with grease.
Beauty - thai fried rice with an egg on top!
Looks good enough to eat - and it was!!
Magnificant - landing and taking off!
A by-gone era, down near Mexican Hat
Livin! off the land!
Blue bottle (jelly fish)
No shortage of these fellows around, seems we had camped in this fellows hunting ground
Now you have to be good to catch em' this big, on these hooks!
Fresh bread!
There he goes again, across the sand hill
Brother Ashely and his wife Alison drop in to visit on their way home to Port Lincoln after 4 weeks prospecting for Gold in W.A.
Here he is again, but we never saw him / her in our annexe, just passing thru!
Heading for home, then Ashley turns around in 3 days to meet us at the Head of The Bight - Guese, Mullaway fishing.
The salmon started to get closer in shore, mind you still chest deep. Next day just after landing several salmon a big dark shape appeared in the breakers - not going back in there for awhile!
Never know what lurking in the scrub!
and this was a no fly day compared to other day's! You did not go anywhere with out your fly net!
Time to break camp and head up the coast to the Head of the Bight for more fishing at Guese.
Ringing the kid's in Thailand before we head 'bush' again!
Next stop GUESE, Yalata
