Euchla, Aussie Bite and into South Australia

Sunday 02/11/08 - Euchla - Streaky Bay
Left Euchla about 8, and hit the road running along the great Aussie bite. Many spectacular view points with the road running in most places within a k from the cliff edge. Stopped at the Nullabor roadhouse, and soon after the scenery changed to massive, featureless open plain, a bit like Cammoweal on the QLD/NT border, after a while, 100 kms or so, changed to lovely open woodland and then as we got to Nundaroo, into rural farm land. As we filled up there had a chat to some people who'd followed us along the way, tipped us off to see the Eyre peninsular on our way across South Australia, plan changed and off we went, still had a while to go to get there and passed through Ceduna, before heading right down the Eyre. Streaky Bay was about 100kms on and is a lovely little fishing town, reknown in Sydney restaurants for their Scallops, typically none were available there ! Found a great little camp spot down on the bay, and watched the Sunset and Pelicans. More chatting and advice from fellow campers set us up for the next day, but unfortunately made us late for the pub, where we eventually arrived to late for food.
Our idea off time has flown out the window, never actually driven/ridden through so many timezones before and we'd given up changing the time on our phones. The only thing we wanted to know was, what time do the roos come out around here ?
