Day 33 Sun 12 Jun 16, Nullarbor SA to Caiguna WA 534km, fine and clear early, cloudy later, 5 to 18 deg. A bit chilly on the plains this morning! Nice to see the clear skies and sunshine though. The sun is fairly late getting up over this side of the continent; 7:45am!! Day is half gone! Got away at 7:50am straight onto Highway 1. Can't fault the road at all it's brilliant. We ate the last of our fruit and discarded the last bit of our honey due to the very stric...

Day 32 Sat 11 Jun 16, Streaky Bay to Nullarbor Roadhouse 428km, sunshine early then cloudy with an odd shower then sunshine in the afternoon, 10 to 17 deg. Today we struck out across the Nullarbor Plains. We don't want to rush so will take three days. It was a pre-dawn start and just as we drove away the sun came up. Lovely cool clear morning. The road was nothing short of fantastic, wide smooth and well maintained. First stop, for mornos, was Penong a little tow...

Day 31 Fri 10 Jun 16, Streaky Bay SA, mainly fine and sunny, 9 to 18 deg. Lovely quiet night with no wind or rain. A pre-dawn 5km walk out to Cape Bauer under cloudy skies started the day. After a hot brekky we headed out to Point Labatt 50km south along the coast to do some sea lion spotting. On the way we stopped at Calca an abandoned settlement which is slowly crumbling due to the weather and vandalism. Reached the windswept Point overlooking the sea lion colo...

Day 30 Thurs 9 Jun 16, Port Lincoln to Streaky Bay 302km, windy with showers 11 to 18 deg. Another night of wild windy weather, would have blown the dog off the chain! It's times like these we thank goodness we have a weatherproof and solid van, not a tent. Got underway at 8am under ominous looking skies. Rain on and off (mostly on) for the first 170km, which was at Elliston where we pulled in for a cuppa. The local info centre building was a real work of art, fu...

Day 28 Wed 8 Jun 16, Port Lincoln SA, weather in a word, windy, 9 to 17 deg. At least it was sunny most of the day. A wild night in PL, with rain and wind gusts rocking the van. Finally got up at 2:30am and pulled the awning down as it was rattling and threatening to detach from the van. First up in the morning Greg took the BT50 in to have the locking bolt on the tow bar re-attached. The new tow bar had been installed in Hervey Bay when we bought the truck so we...
