Western Bight trip, 2012 03 13 – 28th!   

Which did not go as planned.

Plan A: "Travel from the east of Esperance along the beaches and cliffs tops to Eucla".  Then a cyclone hit which destroyed the beach.

Plan B: "The Western Telegraph Track", which runs between the Bight and Eyre Highway.  (The section we travelled along was completed in 1877.  It connected Albany to Eucla).  This was very rough and overgrown. We had planned to return to plan A at Twilight Cove, this track was impassable, and we were running out of fuel.

Plan C: "Find diesel"; then the Eyre Bird Observatory and inland to a fascinating old Koonalda Station and cave on the Old Eyre Highway, Pildappa Rock, Yaninee (where a trip members relation once lived) and Melrose for a celebratory last meal.
