This is somewhere along the Nullarbor, nothing but nothing interesting, just saltbushes.
Photo below is the limestone coastline, very high and in some places very dangerous, with the wall braking away, quite spectacular.
Well back in the land of sevices..... We left Kalgoorlie last Friday at about 7.15 am on our way to cross the Nullarbor again. It was quite hot, so we were happy to leave that early.
Because we left from Kalgoorlie it took a bit longer to cross. We had to top up in Norseman with diesel, we had filled our jerry cans in Kalgoorlie, was a bit cheaper....
We also had to stock up a bit with food, which we did also in Norseman.
Drove till Caiguna and decided to stay in the caravanpark there, had to top up with diesel as well. We had had a very strong headwind, we can't win, headwinds on the way over and on the way back, sometimes couldn't do more than 80 kms/hr.......frustrating to say the least....
Left early again the next morning, same headwinds again, can you hear John winching?.....
Drove till about 7.30ish, because we lost 2.5 hours of course, found a freecamp and stayed there for the night. Left there about 9.45am on our way to Ceduna, luckily we ate all our fruit and veg, just boiled the potatoes and put them in the fridge. We wanted to go as far as Port Augusta, we arrived here at 6.30pm and set up camp at the Shoreliner Caravanpark. Booked for 1 night. Leave here tomorrow morning to go to Stansbury, York Peninsula, where we will be staying till Friday or Saturday, so John can hopefully do some crabbing and fishing and catch up with his cousin........
