 iandsmith Says:  I'll quote here from my email at the time: WOW, WHAT A CIRCUSI was in the middle of the Nullarbor crossing and the man was clearly in shock, his agitated expression revealed a deep emotion. His voice was non stop as he explained what had happened.“You have to go on this...

 Mikebb Says:  Driving north from Walpole along the South western Highway we stopped at the Lookout and admired the great view to the ocean. This rest area is well equipped with tables and bench seats for those who wish to stay longer and have a picnic.
