Norseman to Adelaide across the Nullarbor.

This will be a short blog as we traveled more and did not stop at too many places.


Leaving Norseman early in the morning with the temperature already at 30 we headed East onto the Eyre Highway
with the intentions of a few free-camps on the way but it was not to be, the weather climbed to the mid 40ties and wind gust of up to 40+ Km and very unpleasant, the wind luckily was mostly from the north so we only had to contend with side winds and with the air-conditioner running we drove till around 5.30 in the afternoon, we stayed at Jillah Rock hole free-camp for the night just before Mundrabilla roadhouse, at the Wa/SA border here there is no fruit fly check so we had a few more hours to finish of the fruit we still carried and Bianka cooked a few vegetables.

Next day we traveled through to Uecla
with a stop at Cathula pass lookout, stopped for a look at the Marine park where the whales congregate May to Octoberas the weather and wind was still bad down went the foot an we traveled right through (this cocky is half way) Bianka Driving the Nullurbor At the end of the Nullurbor a certificate to prove you have driven the Eyre Highway than Wyalla we stayed for 2 nights to recover, boy did we have some bad luck with the wind here.

Let me explain the CP was on the beach and prices where back into the park $29 and beach front $34 we decided to take a site back in the park once we looked at the site yuk so we changed to beach front and it was nice at the time the wind and heat was coming down so set up complete all mof a sudden the wind turned to the south and wind sand and rain come in so for the next 2 nights it blew and blew and blew it got chilly at night and hot during the day but never ind we did some sightseeing anyway.

So after our time here we decided we would travel on to Adelaide and stay for 6 days where we are today

See you in our next and last blog for the year
