Monday 16th July

We made our way to Ceduna where the days are warm (21c) On checking in they had some local oysters for sale so Ross had 1 dozen oysters as an entrée to dinner. We stayed for three nights and left there today to head towards the WA border which we should reach tomorrow. Right now we are staying in a rest area which is a little noisy as it is fairly close to the Eyre highway, but once the door and windows are closed we should be good till the morning. It is quite a big rest area and we are the only ones here at the moment but it is only 2.20 so we will see about 4pm who pulls in for the night.

Today is Friday 20th July. We have been free camping for the last four days and out of range for phones and Internet. Today we are still free camping but "Hurrah" we do have connections. Not much to report at all at this time. Except that we are now in WA and getting used to another time zone which is two hours behind Eastern Standard Time.

We have only been travelling about 250km per day as the head wind along the Eyre Highway is ferocious and we are using approx. 18.8 litres of diesel per 100 Km which is really expensive. Two places have been over $2.00 a litre. Today we paid $1.97 which is not much better. Tomorrow we go to Fraser Range which is a working station that has a caravan park. The good thing is you can pay to have your evening meal with the staff and other campers, so we looking forward to that.

In the Eyre Highway Album you can see some of the scenery and if you look carefully a photo of one of the approximately eight whales and some calves. We felt very privileged to be able to watch them. Photos taken with the little camera doesn't do what we actually saw justice.
