Australia's Nullarbor Plain
 
Dog Rusty and I spent several weeks crisscrossing the amazing
Nullarbor. It’s called the flattest place on Earth. In the north, the
railway runs straight for 478km (297miles) without a bend. Once we
camped where the moist climate of the ocean meets the dry air of the
inland. That’s a battle line and produces the fiercest sunrises I have
ever seen (like the one at http://www.oz-greetings.com.au/photo/8 .
Click on the shot to enlarge it). In the south are the forbidding
Nullarbor cliffs battered by the Southern Ocean. At the Head of Bight
is a major breeding and calving site for the huge Southern Right
Whale. One can view them from the top of the cliffs - the best viewing
spot in the world. Most tourists stick to the perfect highway. I love
the inland. From horizon to horizon nothing more than ankle-high. It’s
otherworldly. And the night sky is overwhelming.
There’s a lot about that fascinating spot at

Hi Peter, apologies for late reply. The geographical extend of the
Nullarbor is much larger than the actual 'nulla arbor' part. The
geographical Nullarbor is delineated by the largest continuous
limestone block in the world - with a variety of vegetation.
