Last time I crossed the Nullarbor in 1986 there was not a lot of stopping (Melbourne to Fremantle in 53 hours) so this trip was a chance to spend some time looking around.
Some might say there is not a lot to see on the Nullarbor, but I beg to differ. Each stop we had along the way was a chance to immerse ourselves in the sights, smells and sounds. Apart from the entertainment involved in playing the Nullarbor Links we also enjoyed a few adventures and side trips to points of interest.
Also we help two young German backpackers with car trouble and met our very good friend Amanda from West Wyalong, go Amanda you are really amazing young women.
We got from Ceduna to Kalgoorlie it just under six days a bit slower than my last crossing.
