After our first few days in Albany of sunshine and exploration, the weather we left behind in Esperance finally caught up with us and we have spent the majority of the last two days sheltering from the rain. Thankfully we have had the pool table and theatre room to keep us entertained during the rain soaked days and we have also been introduced to the wonders of Texas Hold 'Em Poker in the camp kitchen of an evening. During our evenings huddled around the log ...

Today we ventured to Two People Bay on the recommendation of a couple of people at the campsite and it turned out to be every bit as lovely as they had described. When we arrived we popped into the visitors centre to read about some of the local inhabitants of the area before heading on around to the start of the walking trail. After a while of searching around for anything that even vaguely resembled a walking trail we headed back on up towards the visitors c...

It's just behind the beach and has a recreation room with free pool and table-tennis, a free theatre room with loads of DVD's to choose from and even a heated spa! We may be here some time!! This morning we set off with a kiwi couple that we met last night to take a look around the farmer's market in the ce...

Just after we left Madura we came to the Nullarbor township where there was a sign marking the start of the longest straight road in Australia. For the next 146.6 kilometres the road didn't deviate so much as a foot to either side with the only variance being the occasional hill to alleviate the monotony...

We are now in Madura on the Nullarbor road, the official halfway point between Perth and Adelaide. After leaving Port Augusta yesterday morning we travelled along to Ceduna, which marks the start of the Nullarbor proper, and found a quiet little campsite overlooking the beach. At least it was quiet until a group of oldies turned up on their outback tour and set about setting up their tents for the night. There was very little between Port Augusta and Ceduna and...
