The Nullabor

The big trip across the Nullabor was very exciting and eccentric at the same time, we knew then we are on our last legs of this magnificent holiday. As for the eccentric part, the Nullabor is a mammoth road to travel with only Roadhouses along the way, wind and arid land. We drove the famous straight stretch of road which runs for 145.6kms dead straight. Along the path was many poor kangaroos who had been hit, we had to weave around eight of them on one stretch. If you ever do drive the famous Nullabor be sure to stop and check the sign, you might find our names on the middle pole.

Throughout the trek we stopped at various lookout points that allowed you to take in the huge cliffs running along the coastline.

That night we stayed just over the South Australian Boarder at one of the lookout stops of the Great Australian Bight. It was the most beautiful setting, just us and four other campers, being out in the middle of nowhere the night got cold and very dark. We were treated to a lightening show in the distance that made the ambience even more eerie.
