28 December - Across the Nullarbor!!

28 December 2016 – 201 776

Across the Nullarbor!!

This morning we were up and away early – and heading east!  Today we drove 775km, by far our biggest driving day so far, and we were still stopped and set up well before dark.  We stopped at every service station and lookout along the way, but there isn’t much to stop and see along the way.  The lookouts provided magnificent views over the coastal plains and the cliffs of the Great Australian Bight.  The Nullarbor Plain is very aptly named indeed, there is not a single tree visible to the horizon.   There are at least four RFDS Emergency Airstrip sections on the Eyre Highway, so best to keep watch for incoming planes.  We have stopped for the night at Nundroo East Rest Area, a beautiful spot.
