Saturday 1/11/08 Belladonia Roadhouse to Euchla
Left Belladonia hoping for a moderately nice day...something a little overcast perhaps...Weather had other plans, and shortly we were riding through heavy showers. Even so, Nullabor was beautiful, got more beautiful in the shower breaks..., mixture of nothing...very low scrub, medium scrub, and red dirt. Rode steady, stopping every 200kms. Just above Madura was a stunning view as the road dropped down to the lower plain, almost endless view and then the cloud closed over it...Stopped at Madura to eat and hope that the weather would change, so I could take so photos of the pass, but yep, didn't get those shots....
In one of the rain breaks, came across a massive Wedge Tail atop a dead Kangaroo in the middle of the road, he would have stood a metre high, and refused to move as I approached, slowed right down, and just as I got to him, slowly lifted off..
About 40kms West of Euchla, we sighted a strange phenomenon before us....Blue sky and then heat...beautiful....Went down to the old telegraph station behind the beach dunes, almost enveloped in sand...Leo had requested a photo, as had been through in '74, I thought he said with the bikes in front of it...Geoff tried....
