Nullarbor Roadhouse to Eucla via the Bunda Cliffs, Koonalda Homestead, Koonalda Cave and Border Village.

Plenty of road trains parked up at Nullarbor for sunrise

A short km day, but lots of in and out of the car as we went in to every Bunda Cliff lookout, and into Koonalda Homestead and Cave.

Koonalda was the original “Nullarbor Roadhouse” and had a couple of mentions in a book i bought yesterday about the pushing of Googs Track. Nice to have that perspective before having a look around.

Lot of history here, and then the roughest road of the trip (so far😁😉) down to see the Koonalda Cave.

Koonalda Cave was bigger than any of the caves at Nullarbor Roadhouse yesterday

Rooey 2 looks like he’s had a spruce up. Border Village

Since I have spent so much time at Border Village over the years on motorcycle trips I gave Mum the full tour Found the Border Run 30th Anniversary Photo and who is that I see up the back dressed in black tie? Yup, that’s me from 18 years ago!

And then deja vu as i walked back out the front door to see this fella attacking what appeared to be a rear tyre puncture. Since I have experience in fixing rear tyre punctures in that EXACT location (2017? Border Run) , AND I had all my motorcycle puncture repair gear with me I went to see if I could offer any help

Turns out this was a planned tyre change and he had all the tools and knowledge required, so after a quick chat I left him to it.

A quick quarantine and we see they have made a start fixing the SAWA Border Photo Op
