We woke up at 7:10am and packed up ready to go. We all wanted to go in the cave so we went to inspect it. Mum and dad thought they could do it but thought it was to hard for Jordan and I without a rope (as if). Mum and dad went down and left Jordan and I up the top with strangers we met the night before and the lady was a social worker so mum thought she would call DOCS. Jordan and I were bored so we got the cards out and played some thirty-one, blackjack and Texas Hold'em Poker for an hour and a half.
When we finaly left for a six hour drive, we went to the old homestead and explored the buildings and cars that had been there for a hundred years. The buildings were realy cool but unfortunately the council had cleared out about thirty of the original sixty abandoned cars.
We drove to the Bunda Cliffs for lunch and the beautiful view and found about 30 sea shells about 40m above sea level. These were from millions of years ago, pretty cool. After lunch we drove to Nullabour roadhouse for showers and Jordan and I bought two toy kangaroos that had joeys in the pouches that looked like peanuts when we took them out. Just after the roadhouse there was a fruit fly quarentine stop on the border of South Australia and Western Australia.
We continued on to Eucla where we looked at the old telagraph station that was covered by sand because rabbits had eaten all the vegetation on the dunes.Jordan and I played forts which was realy fun but then we had to leave.
We stopped at a road stop near Cocklebiddy where we set up camp and went and talked to more complete strangers with a fire when we didn't have one.

ReplyDeletein 1978 my wife and I were lucky to travel to koonalda cave, when we got to the homested and asked for direction out to the cave, we were told because it was sacred grounds we needed a permit to go down it. after talking to the people at the homested they agrreed to tell us how to get there. When we arrived at the cave there was a steel ladder hanging down the side of the opening, we climbed down to find some one had planted fruit trees at the bottom, we then found the entrance to the cave and waslked into it as we decenced further into the tunnel we found a skull and some bones beyond that we eventualy arrived at the bottom and there was a huge lake in front of us. That was one of the most enjoyable sites that we went to on our trip around and thru Australia!
