Day 7 Lake Douglas (Kalgoorlie) - Kalgoorlie - Menzies - Lake Ballard " I press my face against the glass and watch the white lines rushing past..." Nice sunrise over the Lake this morning. We drove into Kalgoorlie and restocked our food early to get it out of the way. Had the mandatory drive down Hay street to check out the pink doors and then had a good look at some of the older buildings that Kalgoorlie has preserved . The Town Hall is a magnificent buildin...

Day 6 Balladonia - Norseman - Kalgoorlie (Lake Douglas) "Cause dirt road are slower, dust gets stuck to your skin. That rusty red earth reminds me of where I've been...."

Day 4 Streaky Bay - Ceduna - Penong - Nundroo - Nullarbor "Its the wide open road...." We watched the sunrise over the beach at Streaky Bay this morning, had a walk along the beach and then out on the long jetty.

We hit the road just before 10am today and drove thru Smoky Cape, Ceduna and stopped for lunch at Penong. Its a funny to...

Day 3 Burra Gorge - Port Augusta - Streaky Bay "I wanna be a modern day hippy - I think it's time. Pack the car, find an open road and drive...."

Got stuck in Port Augusta's Saturday Morning Woolies shopathon! " Can I have all available operators to the checkouts please! " Fueled an...
