Nullabor

Well it began and it ended with lots of driving in between!! I think we averaged about 500km a day.
First day we planned to drive a shorter distance and camp at Fowlers Bay and meet up with the Yens again. We drove 25km on a dirt road only to find where we thought the camp was and no way could we get in there. So another drive on dirt road back on the highway. We then decided to drive as far as we could, it got dark and we kept driving past the rest areas, oops. We did get to see a few dingoes and a fox but no kangaroos or camels. We ended up pulling up next to a couple of other vans right next to a viewing area of the Great Australian Bite. It was so dark we couldn't see it. But we knew it was there, the windy, oh my gosh the van has never rocked like that before!! The stars that night were amazing, but it was too awful to stay outside and appreciate them. Kids were freaked out by the wind. Jake couldn't believe they didn't have a fence. I explained that there was a fence. But he thought they should build a brick fence taller than the caravan, to stop the wind. Not sure that would work at a viewing platform!!!

Got up early and went and checked out the bite or little "nibble" as Mark called it. Pretty impressive seeing the sheer cliffs and the raging ocean.

Next stop the boarder. Man they are strict there, poor Mark was devastated to have to give up his honey :(. But its important for quarantine reasons, and to protect their industry.  I got talking to the quarantine officer about it and said yes I know all about why we need healthy bees and hives, I've watched the kids movie called The Bee Movie.  Yep I sounded very educated!!!

Pulled up for the night at a random rest area. 2/3 of the way now!! Must say the sunsets over the Nullabor are rather pretty and the sunrises are amazing. We thought it would be flat and with limited plants. We were pleasantly surprised to find a lot more to see. There's are lot of wide open land out here....

Drove through Norseman. Only stopped for Mark to climb on the famous horse. Apparently back in the day the horse accidentally dug up some dirt and found gold.

Now I've got a head ache and have been stuck on the car for three days. I wasn't feeling pleasant!! Made it to Kalgoorlie yah!! The Nullabor was an okay drive. It's just hard to drive such long distances for three days in a row. Kids were awesome, probably nicer about it than I was in the end!! It's done now, pretty sure we won't be heading back that war any time soon!!!
