4 days across the Nullabour to Ceduna. We took it easy only traveling about 500km per day. The campspots were good and as usual met good people on the way.
However, a little drama during the first night camping on the Fitzgerald River east of Ravensthorpe. Relaxing, having dinner after a fireside chat with other campers and we get a heavy knock on the van door. 2 burly policemen. Now that gives you a shock in the middle of know where. Apparently a police car stopped a car 20km east of us. The guy in the car (described as an "Arab ), assaulted the police officer and took off into the bush. God knows where too and it was freezing that night. He only had on shorts and a T shirt. We were assured that he could do no harm and probably too far from us. Just the same he would have been desperate and very,very cold. Hope he gave himself up. I had trouble sleeping that night thinking about the poor b*****.
One of the great spots we camped at was The Bunda Cliffs on the Nullabour. Again soooooooooo cold. 4 degrees when we left at 8am. A taste of what we will get when we go inland.
We have never stopped at Ceduna before and it is a great little town. Fabulous King George Whiting at the moment. Tony finaly got to play with his new toy, his boat and the boat loader. Great, he's off fishing (and I can paint). Day 1, one size King George. Day 2, he invites a co camper to go with him and thank heavans success - 13 King George Whiting. Last night home made fish and chips, this morning for breakfast,whiting and tommies and lunch, whiting burger. As good as it gets.
Rain has set in today and lots of van and car prep to do. Leaving tomorrow and heading to Port Wakefield for some Caravan repairs.
Then off to the next leg of our adventure. The "back of Bourke", our inland trek to south Queensland

gail mcmahon What an exciting night at Fitzgerald River, a good story to retell. Great fish catch and the boat loader looks perfect. Enjoy your inland trek. Gail and Ian
