I had a great nights sleep. The driving is making me really tired. Because there's not much traffic and the road is very straight most of the time I think you need more concentration than driving on the busy roads back home and that it why I am so shattered. I left Madura at about 10 which really was too late as I'm going to lose 2 and a half hours at the border today when I go over to South Australian time. I was going to go as far as Nundroo today, about 500 ki...

Got up to a clear blue sky this morning. You could tell that a storm had come through as there were a lot of branches off trees. Whilst I was doing my dishes I noticed that the emus had come onto the camp site! There was what I presumed to be mummy emu and her four youngsters. I got talking to the couple from the caravan next door. They were from Brisbane and were taking 3 months out to circumnavigate the country with their kids. I was informed that the big emu w...

It was good that I had seen the super pit but I was glad to get out of Kalgoorlie. I hit the highway after breakfast back to Norseman, 188 kilometres.

As I drove back out of Norseman I hit the sign for the Eyre Highway and Adelaide which will take me across the Nullarbor Plain into South Australia. W...

Norseman is right where the Eyre Highway starts. This is the highway across the Nullarbor Plain into South Australia. Before I hit the Eyre Highway though I wanted to make a detour 188 kilometres north to the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie-Boulder to have a look at the Super Pit. Before that though I went to have a look at the Beacon Lookout at Norseman. This is a hill on the edge of the town that gives a great view and there are a load of interesting boards prov...

It was brilliant at Lucky Bay. I woke up and had breakfast to a wonderful view. I left the camp ground at about 9 and just drove a short way to Le Grand Beach to catch up with the blogs and to have my last look at the Southern Ocean for a few days. Today I headed inland to Norseman. The plan is to then carry on up to Kalgoorlie-Boulder before coming back down and following the Eyre Highway across the Nullarbor Plain. After leaving the ocean I headed back to Esper...
