After a very quiet night at the tower , we find the wind has calmed down and the van & ute are completely covered in condensation . Well what do you do with all that moisture - Hmmm the van needs a wash , so after breakfast we gave it a wash - not a great wash , but after a few weeks in the bush and dirt roads , it was good to get rid of the dust .
After the wash we headed out to the highway and resumed our sight seeing , first up was Lookout No2 - they are numbered from Nullabor side , that being the reason we're going from No 3 to 2 to 1 .
Here's the view to the east .
We got chatting to another truck driver today , he disconnected his 2 trailers and drove down to the lookout - he hadn't stopped at this one for about 18 months , and was interested to see if it had changed any . You can see his truck parked in the turn around area .
Here we are , just a little selfie .
Aerial shots are the best way to see a lot more of the cliffs .
The cliffs are slowly cracking and falling into the ocean , you can see a slab here ready to go .
Another RFDS landing strip was just around the corner , here it is .
Further up the road again , we found another spot where you could have 100 vans in overnight , there were lot's of spots to camp . We chose one about 40m from the edge and set up for the night . Didn't get this one to ourselves though , there were another 6 vehicles in as well .
The wind wasn't too bad , but it was cool and only got cooler as the afternoon disappeared .
The sea spray helped make for interesting photos at sunset .
We woke to a strong northerly blowing , everyone else packed up and slowly disappeared , we decided we'd wait for the wind to hopefully ease a bit . The wind was going over the cliff and dumping on the water about 200m out - it looks calm here , but wasn't . We went for a walk along the cliff for a view of the eastern side - then looked back west ???
From a bit further east , the cliffs to the east curve a bit so photo's weren't great and also looking into the sun .
This weather beaten old bush must have been here for forever , looking at all the twisted & gnarled branches - it's still living !!
