For those who have not ventured crossed the Nullarbor and are wondering what it is like well we loved it.
The scenery is outstanding, the roads fantastic with ample room for a caravan and a heavy haulage road train passing one another without any problems. It is called courtesy and commonsense while driving.
We have been told before we came over that we would be surprised and it would be different than we were thinking and this is so correct.
The view out to the Southern Ocean is terrific, the water angry lashing against the walls of the cliffs. The rock face is rugger ed but beautiful. The ledges have been worn and are fragile with boulders falling into the ocean. If you go to close you have a good chance of falling into the ocean below.

We all camped here over night with many other campers following us. It is a very Picturesque View of the ocean and the treacherous water below. The cliff face is very unstable but Judy and Sandra couldn't help themselves looking for that fantastic photo opportunity. When we saw a photo of the cliff face from the other side looking straight at it we were horrified just how unstable the cliff is and should be fenced off.

| Sand as white as white and so fine like baby powder |
This is the start of the 90 mile straight where Sandy was allowed to have a drive. What happened to the day's when she could drive without permission and feel confident.

Well we hope that you all enjoy this section of our trip. The NULLARBOR was fantastic and we would recommend that whenever you can that you go across this wonderful country of ours.
The plains are so flat and the land course with wild shrubs along its path. The Ocean views are to die for and the cliffs are out of this world. The colours in the rocks and the wild smashing of the waves along the coast is exhilarating. Our trip to date has been safe and without any problems and this is a great feeling. Love to all and we hope that all is well with every one at home. Love Sandy and John
