Today we headed off early knowing that we were doing a few hundred kms....our aim being Border Village which was 400kms away on the SA/WA border, hence the name (very original). Not a bad day of driving in the life of a traveler. We were all very excited about today as there are a few stops along the way for sight seeing, l couldn't wait to see the Great Australian Bight. The first stop Nundroo to fill up on some fuel and check out the Nullarbor golf course. ca...

Very grand for the size of the town, it was really cool with quirky things to decorate it and make it fun amongst th...

We were ready to hit the road and take the hilly drive back to Adelaide to get supplies before making our way to Port Augusta for a night. The drive was uninspiring with nothing to really look out once you got thru Adelaide. We arrived at Port Augusta late arvo and it was stifling. Thankfully we found a cheap caravan park, $25 a night, so we had power. First thing we did was put the air conditioner on and then l got the washing done. It was dry on half an hour! ...
