18th June 2016 This morning we saw the Todd River flowing rapidly. Speaking to some locals, it is much higher than prior rains. One idiotic person went off in his Kayak, fully clothed and no life jacket! The supermarkets were packed, not sure if it was panic buying or people like us who put off buying last night due to the roads into conditions making getting into town very difficult. We continue south along the Stuart Highway. There are still lots of car...

The Great Australian Bight, from Bunda Cliffs. It's to early in the season for Whales. What a calm day, bearly a breath of wind. Crossed into WA today. Quarantine at the boarder are very strict, not just the fridges, but wanted cupboards opened too. Was all good, we knew to expect it.

Staying tonight at Perlubie Beach, right on the beach, that's us in the left of the pic. Tomorrow plan to start the journey across the Nullabour.

Saw two boat loads of oysters being brought to shore. Cowell has the most decorated loos so far. They are situated down a nicely treed ally, with the local art gallery beside it. In the loos they display their local "crap art" the not so significant pieces that don't make it into t...
