After sadly waving goodbye to South WA which is quietly spectacular, we headed to Norseman and the start of the Eyre Hwy - AKA the Nullarbor.
It was a long way to go....
First nights stop was at this very pretty place.
Lachlan instructed me on the precise art of marshmallow toasting - I'm now a convert.
Despite the warning signs the wildlife escaped the dangers of the Rav, and the Rav escaped further violation.
It was a really long road. Everyone deserves a little shut eye. Even if it means wearing their girlfriends eye mask.
The great Australian Bight made for some spectacular scenery.
And large numbers of Southern Right Whales flapping about with their baby calves.
A little town in SA worthy of a lunch stop.....
The right direction for the Rav to have his own ears.
Despite our Roo fear we risked a spot of sunset driving. Surely they are all up at the flooded Lake Eyre.
After retreating into a cabin from the gale force gusts on our final night, we awoke to a flat tyre....
Whoops - turns out we had let the tyre be pretty much shredded... The little wires were poking through.... A very relevant reason not to overload your soft wheel drive.
Ah, back to Victoria and rain. But how pretty are rainbows?
A brief stop in at Murrayville and my old childhood home.
After travelling through the NT, WA, SA and Vic, why not pop into NSW for a beer when nearly home?
Sadly we say farewell to the Rav, and more importantly our wonderful friends and family in Aus. Next stop is France. Please come and visit!
What a great trip! I'm very jealous of the beautiful places that you've been. I've been to all of the ones in WA, but they're so beautiful, I miss them and I want to see them again.
ReplyDeleteWe miss you up here in Darwin, but we'll catch up again one day.
