Adelaide to Perth

Hi mac3, if you are interested, you can complete the worlds longest golf course, Nullarbor Links. It starts in Kalgoorlie, & finishes in Ceduna. You can do it in reverse, just go to the Infomation Centre in Ceduna to pay your “green fees” and pick up a score card. Basically there is a golf hole or two in various places along the Eyre Highway located at roadhouses. All you need is a putter, 3 Iron, 7 iron, driver & sand wedge. A couple of the holes are actually on proper Golf Courses, Ceduna, Norseman, & Kalgoorlie, other than those they are basically just a synthetic tee & green, with a heap of rough in between.Check it out on line at www.nullarborlinks.com

If you have some extra days, and don’t mind a bit of track / beach driving, check out Nuytsland Reserve, it’s magnificent in places.

We went south at Cocklebiddy, to Twyligh Cove and al Ng he inland track to Baxter cliffs.
But I would recommend going to Caiguna and gbaout den there to Baxter cliffs, the tracks improve greatly.
Baxter memorial, on to Baxter cliff lookout, a very great I’d camp where the track from Twylight intersects, at approx 32°27'37.6"S, 125°32'05.5"E

Note John Baxter memorial is incorrectly marked on some maps, it is actually at 32°28'13.6"S, 125°36'58.7"E

Continuing through the reserve approx sww, you come to some nice lookouts then hit Bulbunya dunes, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere !!

You can access them from the beach (we did this) and approx 50km of varying beaches towards Pt Lorenzen, OR better if solo, take the inland tracks inside Bilbunya, I’m sure there’d be access from behind too for a look.

Israelite Bay is another highlight, with pristine coast and white sands, jetty ruins, old telegraph station, and various buildings to explore carefully.

From there the drive goes west out to Fisheries Rd that takes you into Esperance.

Good mapping will have all the tracks and info you would need.

Enjoy.

Be Aware that quarantine is taken very seriously at the WA border. Not only fruit and veg but honey and nuts as well. Do your homework before you get there or you could lose a lot of your shopping.

I love the trip across to Perth and I am sure you will enjoy the adventure also. Don't rush.

Thanks all, will digest each one and enjoy our trip.

Wadlata Outback Centre in Port Augusta and the Arid Lands Garden just up the highway from Port Augusta. Two places i would go back and have a other look.
