Leaving Ceduna today after a two night stay, I drove through the little towns of Wirulla (the town with the secret and the inland jetty) and Poochera (the town with the kerosene tin humpy) that I wrote about last year and also the little town of Minnipa. The towns are really just grain silos with a few houses and mainly closed shops and businesses. At Minnipa, I saw, and used, the original Concrete Crappa.
I then took a 10km detour to see Tcharkuldu rock which was a huge expanse of rock with big boulders balancing. Very difficult to photograph as I couldn't get in the whole vista. There were more spectacular formations with wave like features another 10 km further down the bone shaking road that I decided to miss as I had been jiggled about enough.
Tonight I am staying at a free camp called Kooma which is an abandoned farmhouse. The former occupants are now deceased but their children have opened the property to passers by complete with a key in the door so you can share their memories of the family home. It is set up as if the occupants had just stepped out for five minutes.
