Having passed through Albany where it was raining - surprise, surprise - and I chickened out of putting the tent up and got a flasho cabin for my first night (Well if you cant then when can you) I went on to Esperance. No rain there!
I drove to the ocean road and just said wow!
How can the water be so torquoise blue and not melt your heart?
It is a colour to soothe the ragged soul.
The heart chimes to its flow.
The waves form a cloak to enwrap weary shoulders.
But I did get sunburnt - buggar!
After 2 nights there I headed off to Balladonia, through Norseman -where it was raining.
Made pretty good time so I went on to Cocklebiddy. It was blowing like a ...! But the tent and i did not end up on the other side of the highway.
Up very early and after a roadhouse brekky I pointed BM east and we were on the road again.
Stopped for a couple of photo opportunities of the bight. So great to see ocean when you are in the middle of nowhere.
A lovely lady at Nullabor Roadhouse sold me an Iced Tea for $5.20 and gave me some great advice - head for Ceduna.
So I did and I made it. Even if I didnt know what time it was in SA!
It was raining in the morning so off I went again. Not really wanting to do another long haul, I still made Pt Augusta.
All the way across I only saw 2 horses near norseman and 2 goats at this end. The only kangaroos, camels and wombats were on the big yellow signs.
But that drive was absolutely stunning.
