Travelling Around

Day 8 - we left Baxter rest area which is 115km east of Balladonia.  According to my diary it was a lovely sunny morning and we had a tail wind so Ron was very happy.  We are still on the 90 mile Straight Road,  and there is some roadkill but not as much as yesterday. About 20 km from Balladonia the road had a bend in it so we presume we are at the end of the 90 mile Straight road but there was no sign, but I might have missed it.  There was another RFDS air strip on the road but no planes around so that was good as I don't  want to be there at the same time. Balladonia for fuel Trucks at Balladonia  We continued on and arrived at Norseman where we bought some lunch and stopped in a nice little park on the way out of town.  Norseman is a mining town and it was good to find a few more services there than just a Roadhouse.

Anzac Day in isolation Up at dawn, social distancing, candle on the verandah in remembrance of the fallen.  Lest We Forget.

Day 6 Nullarbor After visiting the Whale Centre we filled up with fuel at Nullarbor Roadhouse ULP $1.79 cpl.  Wish we were able to travel now as it would make a big difference to our fuel cost, we spent $117.12 for fuel there, we also had a head wind so that didn't help either.  Distance from Adelaide to Nullarbor is 1,182 km. Head of the Bight is a bay located in South Australia at the most northern extent of the Great Australian Bight. The Nullarbor Roadhouse has a Motel attached and also a large caravan park.  On our previous trip we stayed a couple of nights in the caravan park as we met friends there and did the whale watching, but on this trip we bought fuel and had a look at a few interesting displays there.
