Flight to the Bight and the South Coast

Image
  A flying/camping trip to see -    'Lake' Eyre, the Nullarbor Plain, the Bight,     and the south-east coast of Australia.   3900nm, 4500mi, 7000km.  May '09.   On the way to Lightening Ridge discovered these earthworks. Are they crop circles??? These look like they could be for water retention. This is Cameron's Corner, where three states all join. South Australia to the left, Queensland upper right, and NSW lower right. This is the road going westward from the corner. 'Lake' Eyre is usually a large dry salt pan,  but heavy rains farther north have flowed into it this year. Camped on the Nullarbor Plain Oh, oh..... Landed out to avoid the rainstorm. The cliffs along the Head of the Bight, the Nullarbor plain to the right. There are many caves in this limestone plain. The results of opening the door while in flight. Not a good idea..... Very convenient airstrip right next to Elliston, SA. A seaside town but no good fish and chips shop... Looks like very margina
