Across the Nullarbor

Across the Nullarbor
8-9 December
Following good Caley tradition, we found a 4wd track , the Baladonia track which is a short cut up to the Nullarbor highway. Thanks to the internet, however, we were able to discover a). that it was open and b) that it had a rockhole which had rolled several cars. We never worked out which of the potholes the warning was about but the Ozziexplorer GPS mapping software on the laptop got us through all the unmarked turn-offs up to the highway (thanks Asher!)

On the highway, we were surprised to see plenty of trees - Null arbor means no trees right? They did start to thin out after a while and by the end of a long day driving, we counted ourselves lucky to find a nice copse of small trees just after Caiguna where we could drive off the highway and bush camp. Fabian particularly likes a bush camp by ourselves so that he can play trumpet without fear of disturbing others.

Two more big days of driving (we resorted to guess the model of the next truck level  - hint it's probably a Kenworth) and another bush camp saw us across the Nullabor and heading down the Eyre Peninsular looking for a spot to camp for the few remaining nights Asher had with us. I had only researched Lincoln National Park but that seemed too far away, so I had Fabian googling Coffin Bay National Park as we drove along.
