Day 51 - Bunda Cliffs - Madura Lookout

Really bad night with the wind and rain, none of us got much sleep. Nice sunrise, no that isn't our van but its a nice photo. Sandy headed off early.....tears!

We went West towards Western Australian Border, stopped at a couple of Lookouts before the Bunda Cliffs finished. Ran into a family that we met in Streaky Bay who are travelling our way. They gave me some tips on what I could take across the border.

We stopped at Site No.13 and cooked the Mushrooms and green prawns, peeled and chopped the potatoes and onions. Went through Quarantine, the lovely lady let me get away with the potatoes, they should have been either cooked or frozen, I promised to freeze. The only thing we lost was our new bottle on honey, happy with that.

Long straight road, no animals, alive or dead, great road, no potholes. Pretty disappointed with the amount of rubbish along the roadside, SA was noticeably clean, not so in WA. Didn't realise how busy the highway was, the Lady at the border told me when it is really busy they have 1000 trucks a day, that's busy! Had to pull off the road a couple of times to let huge trucks go past, looked like mine trucks in pieces.

Lost 2 1/2 hours today, has put us out all day. Sunset is at 4.30 and Sunrise is at 5.23 am. Hard to get adjusted to the time difference.

Stopped at Madura Lookout for the night which overlooks the Nullarbor Plain. Topped up the power with our mobile solar panel before the sun went down.

Lots of Vans and cars pulling into the area, not many staying though. Hopefully get better sleep without the wind on the Cliffs. It is now 4.48pm and nearly dark outside....Read more
