Koonalda Homestead to Home


On the road again..... Stephen with his nose into wind is an awesome thing!!!!
No need to stop at the Head of the Bight as it was to early for the whales.
Had to stop for the coast line on the South Australia side of the boarder. More and more of these stops are either shutting or being de-humanised!



Then we found this great spot...
about 80k's from the border and 14 k's in on dirt to Koonalda Station.



This Homestead was on the old Nullarbor Road and was a fuel station.... 
the remaining dead cars were left out the back...huge car graveyard!!


The Homestead and the sheds were made from old sleepers ...
no one lives there anymore and the building is now Heritage listed.


Toby and Turtle settled right in and again we had a night on our own. 
Pretty much a full moon and the bird life was out of this world!


Heading back to the main road we found these two!!


I'm going to attempt to paint this...wish me luck!


Last coastal shot as we leave the Nullarbor.
We stopped at Fraser Station for our last night..
then Stephen did a 800k drive for us to be home a day early!!!

Oh well next trip not that far away...

Bring it on!!
