The Nullabor

The long, straight road from Ceduna SA to Norseman WA. Null Arboris (no trees) - we are so glad we are not heading home via the Nullabor.




The view for the next 1275 km. No much to see apart from the fuel gauge heading steadily southward. At $2.08 per litre - a very scary sight.


Some tricks to avoid white-line fever - share the driving.

Sharing the driving





As soon as you stopped driving you would be welcomed by a million flies - who favoured your ears, eyes or nose. Hence, given the option of continuing driving or flies the option was always driving.

 Bunda Cliffs
There were some great sight despite the boredom. The 100m high Bunda Cliffs where we had the pleasure of camping one night. Eucla telegraph station now engulfed by sand - where the kids had such fun climbing and jumping from the roof.



We free camped across the Nullabor. We were so ready for a shower in Kalgoorlie.
