The Nullarbor

WE MADE IT! Hot, windy and dry, the Nullarbor (Nullus Arbor - latin, no trees) is quite an interesting drive actually. Well it is a damn long way, being 1200km from Norseman to Ceduna (especially when you add a few 100km's to start from Kalgoorlie). We did it in three legs, Kalgoorlie to Balladonia via Norseman, then to Eucla and on to Ceduna. The 146km straight just past Balladonia was straight, but hilly and the scenery still had a few trees. The highlight of the crossing was stopping into the Head of the Bight and seeing Southern Right Whales with their calves just off the coast, right below viewing platforms!
