The Nullarbor

---

Its been about 3 days since I have had internet or phone as we have just crossed the Nullarbor from SA to WA. We are now in Esperance. There were many interesting things to see while crossing the Nullarbor and it was definitly not anything like Nathan and I imagined. For one thing there had been rain so it was mostly green, and not desert like we thought it would be. The Nullarbor plain is massive area of limestone rock where no trees will grow. Underneath the rock are many caves and river/lakes. We were going to stop at some caves and go in but weren't able to find the road to them, we did happen to see a blow hole though, which is a hole down into the rock for the caves to breath. When standing any where around the hole, it was really windy. Nathan and some of the Flemings used a rope to lower themselves down into to check it out.
We had 2 nights while crossing, so camped in free camping spots once it was getting close to dark. Both nights us and the Flemings gathered wood (hard to do on a treeless plain) and had camp fires.

Some of the highlights or points of interest were:
~ We saw Southern Right Whales at the Head of Bight. ( We also became apart of the Fleming family, with the tourism place letting us all in for the one price as one big happy family lol)
~ I took a photo of the famous sign post warning of "Looking out for camels, wombats and roos". We all spent everyday scanning the lanscape looking for at least one camel, but we didn't see any 😞 (The only evidence we saw of any camels was some footprints on our first night and lots of camel poo on some rocks on our last day)
~ We traveled along the straightest road in Australia which is 146.6k's long, its called the 90 mile straight

Today we are planning to go for a ride along the esplanade and catch up on washing etc. We will also go for drive later to see a pink lake.

Till next time.

Nullarbor Plain
The vast area for as far as the eye could see was treeless.

Falling Sign
All along the cliff edges are no barriers, this sign we thought thought looked pretty funny even though it was a serious sign.
