Southern Cross is a small town about 400 km east of Perth. It is at the eastern edge of the wheat belt and the western edge of the WA goldfields. We filled in a day here exploring all the rock formations in the area, including Baladjie Rock pictured left. This involved a very steep scramble to the top, where we got good views over the nearby salt lakes. We proved not to be the seasoned travellers we had been imagining, arriving early Saturday afternoon we found that the local supermarket had closed at 12:30 and wasn't opening again until Monday. Luckily we had enough supplies to cover our meals, but we could have been caught out as we hadn't planned for it.Monday, October 19, 2009
