South Australia's WILD WEST COAST

The Wild West Coast of South Australia has often been described as "Australia's best detour". That's because it takes travellers through some of the most absorbing and unspoilt scenery in South Australia.

Postcards began the journey at Coffin Bay at the beginning of the Great Australian Bight and travelled 800 kilometres to its Head on the edge of the Nullarbor Plain. The journey goes through small towns and big country - farms, cliffs, whales and legends are all big on the Eyre Peninsula.

Among the experiences were:

• The giant sand dunes of the Coffin Bay National Park.
• The bakery run by surfies in Elliston.
• Farm Beach and Gallipoli Beach where the Peter Weir classic "Gallipoli" was filmed in 1980.
• The raucous Port Kenny Hotel.
• Swimming with sea lions and dolphins at Baird Bay.
• The geological phenomenon of Murphy's Haystacks.
• Following the footsteps of Edward John Eyre - the first European to cross the Nullarbor.
• Secluded Flinders Island.
• The Far West Football League with its record breaking teams Thevenard and Koonibba.
• Penong - the town of 100 windmills and its new age old woolstore.
• The Yalata Aboriginal Lands.
• The cliffs and whales of the Great Australian Bight.
