This morning we climbed down to the beach which was probably a kilometre from where we were camped on the edge of the cliff. It was pretty slow going down the rocky slope and finding a firm foothold was a bit of a challenge. Once at the bottom it was then across sandy dunes to the beach. Lots of wildflowers and a completely deserted beach.
After breakfast (a final fry-up of all remaining vegetables) it was on to Border Village with a big kangaroo holding a jar of Vegemite and Nullarbor Links number 6 hole. Through the border gate (after being checked for fruit and veges) and then on to Eucla and Number 7 hole, about 5 km out of the village where there was a bit of cleared ground used by the Sporting Shooters. Lots of pieces of clay from Clay Pigeons which made the golf interesting.
On to Madura for whole number 9. Fuel $1.98 per litre. The most dramatic feature about this area is the Madura Pass where, after hundreds of kilometres of flat terrain, the road suddenly rises from the Roe Plain.

Next stop was Mundrabilla Road House and hole number 8. No Fairway and quite rough so there was no run. We stopped for lunch just out of Mundrabilla at a spot where there were two water tanks and a huge roof area to catch rainwater. A big sign = "Boil before use".

Camp tonight was 100km further on at Nuytsland Nature Reserve. Lots of caves in the area.
