Day 3 - Somewhere on the bight to Pandurra Station

After a somewhat windy night day 3 again dawned somewhat cool and cloudy but unlike the previous day whilst the clouds did clear it stayed reasonably cool which we were grateful for.

The tent stood up brilliantly to the weather, but unfortunately the cover hadn't fared so well with the traveling. It was pretty well shredded! Duct tape again to the rescue! *lol*

The third day really was a "hump" day-the halfway point of our journey, we got a lot of kms under our belt but it did feel like a bit of a slog.

We had some interesting sights tho... a real live dingo spotted from the road about 2kms from our overnight camp site! A lot of departed Wombats in about a 10 km stretch of road close to Ceduna now nicknamed "Wombat Alley" Don't know if there are just lots there or if they are all just not very bright and wander out in front of passing traffic?

The dogs enjoyed a travel break paddling in the ocean at Ceduna, we saw "Iron Knob" and sniggered about it *lol* And met the goats at our waypoint - Pandurra Station.

Dawn day 3 - packed and ready to go!

Bight camp - the reason we didnt go wandering around after dark! (note dingo proof bins!)


SA roads are as long, straight (and boring!) as WA ones!


Nullarbor landscape SA style


Big sky country

Ceduna fun!

Big sky grazing


Iron Knob (tho not quite what we were expecting!)

Our overnight destination - great pet friendly spot. We only had a powered site but the amenities were great. Clean and with lovely hot showers. The dogs were well on the way to being true "poo connoisseurs" by this point and the goat offerings were much appreciated by them (not that I was all that pleased!)


The goats...

Dinnertime at camp Pandurra


Mia hadn't quite worked out the intricacies of tethering - or maybe she is just into bondage!
