Across the Nullarbor
Setting off early once again, we packed up the tent (now down to a fine art form!) and set off towards the WA Border, with one of our longest days of driving ahead. We stocked up on supplies in Ceduna, and then it was a long stretch of straight, treeless road! We hadn’t been driving long when we saw a sign saying R.F.D.S Emergency Airstrip! Wow, we’re really in the middle of nowhere now. Not sure what we would have done if there had been a plane sharing the road with us. About halfway across, we got to Nullarbor roadhouse, which has preserved some of the long retired structures that once served this well travelled route. We’d also heard that camels were often seen along this stretch of road, unfortunately we didn’t get to see any, but we did take a picture of the sign! We did encounter a few kangaroos, one in the middle of the road, that I thankfully spotted a far way off and could slow down and wait for him to cross. We saw many more that sadly didn’t get the same chance....
