    April 8 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    Woke 5am after early night, and it was quite foggy. We left Harms Lake at 5.45am and drove to Balladonia to fuel & a coffee fix!
    Trucks galore (estimate average every km. )
    Fog cleared to light rain by the time we got to our breakfast stop "Baxter" rest area at 7.30am. It continued raining most of the day. There was a cairn there, where I left a rock, which I wrote on ( Pam & John 8/4/2024 Perth - Adelaide. (That's for Sue & Ron and Jo & Rod, Pam & Pete)
    We drove in light rain to Cocklebiddy, for coffee & beautiful fruit cake ( thank you Joy). The Eyre Hwy was so green, and we both are enjoying the driving. Madurah fuel stop ( Madura Pass is very spectacular) then more driving to Mundrabilla for top up fuel. We've been playing all our old cd's, which has been so much fun.
    Crossed the border & reset our watches 1 1/ 2 hours forward. Finally arrived at our o/n stop at the 164 peg rest area. A great spot 20 kms from Nullabor Roadhouse. We'll check out the view over the Bight tomorrow, and then it's on to Steaky Bay. We've crossed the Nullabor many times, so we're not smelling too many roses. ... 712 kms today & another early night now. 🌙
