This gave me wry amusement - after we had passed the road train, we were held for a while behind the lead vehicle in the convoy. We had just succumbed to a feed of 'pub grub' and had all scoffed bacon and egg rolls with chips. I felt wide! (It was cold and windy when we stopped for lunch and there was a single pub across the road with the temptation of free coffees and hot food.) We are now definitely on the homeward stretch.

19th August (Friday) This photo is for the Grooms and anyone else who shares our love of puns. It's at the town of Nullarbour - imagine my joy at finding a Nullarbour plane!!
