We had heard many stories about crossing the Nullabor. Some travellers said it was awful, some quite enjoyed it, while others would only say it was an 'experience'. The road across the Nullabor is a 750 mile long, almost straight, road that links South Australia to Western Australia. It is like driving from John O'Groates to Lands End in a straight line. We were quite excited about the drive, as it felt like starting another adventure in a new country. There was...

We spent friday driving down the eastern side of the Eyre Peninsula, stopping at a few of the small fishing ports along the way. Our favourite was Port Neill, it has a beaufitully white beach with a turquoise blue sea. It is a very peaceful town and we met a few other travellers who were going in the opposite direction to us.

On Wednesday we drove back to Port Augusta and visited the Arid Botanical Gardens. We saw lots of different ...

Moving away from the city we went to Gumeracha, home to the worlds largest rocking horse. We even found some very rare rocking horse poo. There was also a toy factory and shop which we had a look around. They make some really lovely toys, Sion liked a wooden lawn mower. At the back of the shop there was a small wildlife park. Inside Kangaroos, Goats, Emus, Ducks and Peacocks roamed free. After lunch we went to the whispering wall, which was a dam built in 1902 a...
