Across the Nullabor


We made it! Hundreds of kilometres, miles of tarmac and many long hours later, we are now in Western Australia. After the restfulness of Streaky Bay, we hit the road in earnest, aiming to be in WA by the end of the week. And we are! Below are some of the pics that will certainly help us remember our 3 day crossing. In all honesty, it was a fairly uneventful trip, although there were a few lighter moments along the way......like: 
* comparing fuel prices at the roadhouses (around the $1.50 - $1.63 / litre mark), 
* devouring all our fruit and veg and the honey before facing quarantine, 
* passing the oversized loads travelling together  (2 semis carrying HUGE boats....in the middle of the Nullabor!!!), 
* listening to multiple episodes of 'The Boundless Show' podcast,
* going off road to follow the old rabbit proof fence right to the edge of the bight, 
* racing the rain as it swept across the Southern Ocean,
* bush camping under brilliant skies with wonderful campfires
