Crossing the Nullarbor

Day 1
We were very pleased to see no fires anywhere near the roads. Could see smoke in the distance. The 24hrs stops were all closed up. But the rest areas were open. The Fraser Ranges van park had been closed and evacuated. Stopped for fuel and lunch at Belladonna. Fuel $2.40. They had bits of the Sky Lab fall back to earth in this area. Their clam to fame. Travel about half the longest straight road in Australia before calling it a day. Did about 320k. Not used to these longer days. Having only been doing very short hops lately.

Day 2
A nice cool overcast day to drive. Had some light rain. Did just over 300ks again before stopping at a 24hrs rest stop. Was so cool this afternoon that we ran the heater for a while to warm up. Had jumpers on. 🥶
Pulled in to visit the wedgetail eagles at Cocklebiddy. They rescue them when hit by cars. When possible, return to the wild.
Fuel was $2.54. Not bad was expecting it to be up around $3.

Day 3
Crossed into SA. Very wet. Fuel $2.79Read more
