Australia So Much to See
The Eyre Highway – Crossing the Nullarbor
It is quite common to see Dingoes along the Highway – even in daylight. This one was sniffing around a parking area right alongside the highway while I was eating lunch close by. Do not feed Dingoes in the wild.
There used to be eight viewing areas, but due to crumbling cliff edge, but most of these have been progressively closed.
The closer
to the WA border, the lower the cliffs at the viewing areas, however to the east of the viewing areas there is a well eroded area
where it would be possible to walk down to the ocean. Although we stopped in there for a look, I did not walk down to the tiny beach.
This photo was to compare to one taken at the same spot five years earlier. The undercut cliffs (where people had been walking on
our previous visit) had collapsed even further.
Don't go near this fragile overhanging edge. Do not go beyond cliff danger signs, and even if there are no signs, keep well away from the edge.
A highlight of the Eyre Highway is the Bunda Cliffs.

the best time of year to avoid headwinds? What about safety?”
