Crossing the Nullabor

On the 17th of May we departed Perlubie Beach (mouseland) and drove 100km to Ceduna where we stocked up on groceries and bought Hannah a pair of jeans for $1 from an Op shop. Actually, we've done a bit of op-shopping along the way - cheap beanies, skirt for Hannah, jacket for Mum (mother's day pressie). From Ceduna we drove another 150km to our first Nullabor stop at the Nundroo Roadhouse where for $20 we got a powered site, showers and toilets for the night. The next day we drove about another 150km to the Head of the Bight. This is an amazing lookout where you can gaze at the awesome coastline and watch the whales that migrate here from Antarctica each year to have their calves. Unfortunately we were a month early for whale watching but the view was stunning. After lunch we continued on to a rest area at the 13k peg (13km before WA border) where we stopped for the night with our travelling companions from Victoria. It was a very windy night with road trains roaring past, so we were up and out early the next day and through the border crossing where they took our leftover honey and a few vegies. We stopped at Eucla for diesel (1.611/litre) then drove 450 km to another rest area for the night. Along the way we saw a lot of trees that had been decorated with shoes, hats, beer bottles, undies, bras, ties, teddy bears and one wrapped up in foil. It was a bit of entertainment along a very boring stretch of road. As we journey into Western Australia the soil starts to look a bit redder and there are a few more trees. On 20th May (Happy birthday Jacque's Warwick!) we stopped at Balladonia for diesel (1.75/litre) then continued about 200km before stopping for the night at our first real WA town - Norseman. We checked into the caravan park, did some washing and had a delicious celebratory dinner of beef stroganoff. We made it!
