The Nullabor

The Nullabor is a drive I guess one should do at least once, it is 1500 odd kilometer's long with next to nothing to see. You are graced with a Roadhouse every 100- 150k's which is great as you need fuel but be prepared to pay, Nullabor Roadhouse $2.04 per litre, Ceduna $1.50 per litre, just a bit of difference. Did  I mention the flies, it was impossible to sit outside before sunset as the flies were incredible, and we thought this was because of a westerly wind, but from the souvenir shops along the way selling hats with logo's "What Flies" I think it may be normal, we came out of the van in the morning and expected the CSI team to be searching our car for the body there were so many on the car!


The sunsets were amazing though.

You can see why travellers of old thought this was water, but it's only a mirage!

It's a bit of a worry when your road doubles as an airstrip for the Royal Flying Doctor's Service!

That's the sand dunes of Eucla in the background, looks like snow doesn't it?

How far is Eucla to anywhere?

Once you leave Eucla there are many places to pull over and get a great picture of the ocean, after all that dust and flies it's a welcome sight.

There are hundred's of these lizards on the road, they can move pretty fast for a fat boy!

Goodbye WA hello South Australia!!!!!
Mick is happy oysters at Ceduna $8.00 a dozen, sure beats the $48 a dozen in Broome!
