Von Esperance nach Port Augusta





Nachdem wir in Esperance viel Glueck mit dem Wetter hatten, wurde es auf der Fahrt zum Wave Rock bei Hyden sehr schnell nasskalt und stuermisch.

Die Strecke von Esperance ueber Ravensthorpe, Hyden nach Merredin fuehrt durch den Wheatbelt, dem Weizenguertel Westaustraliens. Diese Gegend ist die Kornkammer des Staates, aber schon lange kein reiches, fruchtbares Land mehr. Periodisch auftretende Duerren und die zunehmende Versalzung und Verarmung der Boeden durch zu viel kuenstliche Duengemittel machen den Farmern zu schaffen.

Bei Hyden gibt es mitten in dieser Farmlandschaft einen Felsen, der an einer Seite vom Wasser so bearbeitet wurde, dass heute eine "versteinerte Welle" uebrig blieb. Auch die Felsformation Hippo's Yawn (siehe rechtes Bild), welche an ein gaehnendes Flusspferd erinnert, ist recht nett anzusehen.

Der Transkontinental-Highway von Perth nach Adelaide, welcher ab Norseman als Eyre Highway u.a. die Nullarbor-Ebene durchzieht, fuehrte uns dann ab Merredin nach Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
Die Doppelstadt im Zentrum der Goldfelder Westaustraliens erlebt seit gut 10 Jahren einen erneuten Goldboom. Im groessten Tagebau Australiens, kurz "Super Pit" (Riesenloch) genannt, werden 75% der gesamten Goldproduktion Australiens und 8% der Goldproduktion der ganzen Welt gefoerdert! Zurzeit ist dieses "Loch" 3 km lang, 1.4 km breit und 350 m tief. In gut 15 Jahren, wenn die Goldvorkommen erschoepft sein sollen, ist das Loch nach Aussagen der Betreiber dann 3.8 km lang, 2 km breit und 500 m tief und die Arbeiter arbeitslos!! Aber in Kalgoorlie-Boulder kann man nicht nur einen Blick in dieses Superloch werfen, sondern auch die Hannan- oder Burt-Street ablaufen und viele alte Haeuser, welche wie eine Wildwestkullisse wirken, bewundern.

Der Eyre Highway ab Norseman, welcher erst seit 1970 durchgaengig geteert ist, fuehrt knapp 700 km bis zur Grenze nach South Australia wieder durch eintoenige Ebenen. Dabei passiert man auch das laengste australische Highwaystueck, welches mit 150 km wirklich schnurstracks geradeaus fuehrt (siehe linkes Bild)! An der Staatengrenze (WA und SA) beginnt dann die Nullarbor Plain, eine ewige, flache Ebene, auf der kein einziger Baum waechst (Nullarbor = kein Baum!). Unterwegs gibt es, ausser den ueblichen teuren Roadhouses, bis Port Augusta nichts erwaehnenswertes mehr.
Somit schliesst sich unserer Kreis und wir beenden unsere Rundreise mit den besten Fish'n'Chips, die wir je probiert haben.
