We left Ceduna at about 9.30 this morning. The Eyre Hwy is a very good road with plenty of room for caravans cars and big enormous trucks. We had to pull off the road several times to let big wide loads pass.
The scenery when we left Ceduna was no different to what you might see around home. paddocks ready to be planted with wheat wherever you look. The only difference is the paddocks here don't seem to stop. They go on forever. About 20kms from The Nullarbor Roadhouse the land changed. It became flat as far as the eye could see with sandy coloured earth showing here there through bushy growth about 1 meter in height at the most. Also dingos are not seen at home, but we saw one in the bush at the side of the road as we drove past. There are also many large eagles to be seen along the way. Either catching the air currents in the sky or eating carrion on the road.
We went and had a look at The Head of the Bight. It cost us $12.00 each. It is walkways built into the sand dunes so you can see the beautiful cliffs and watch the Southern Right Whales on their trip North. We spent at least a half hour watching a mother rolling and playing with her calf. We could see several whales in the distance, but this mother was so close. It was beautiful to see.
We arrived at the Nullabor Roadhouse just as a very large load destined for a mine came along with a big string of cars behind. They pulled in to the roadhouse to allow the traffic behind to pass and I suppose to have a rest. There were quite a few wide and long loads which meant we either had to pull right off the road or take it very easy as they passed by.
We left the Nullarbor Roadhouse after a very cold night, but we were very snug and warm. Once again we were very pleased we had brought along the electric blanket. Wow! How expensive is fuel along the Nullarbor? We paid $1.98 a litre at the Nullarbor Roadhouse and further down the road at Mundrabilla we saw a sign for cheap fuel. It was $1.96 a litre, so we kept on going, but then saw a sign at Eucla about 150 kms down the road for $1.83 so we topped the tank up there.

Along the way we stopped at marked sightseeing vantage points. We saw some wonderful rugged scenery, but no more whales.

I cooked the potatoes and pumpkin I had left in the fridge and Ross made a valiant effort to eat as much of the fruit we had, just in case there was a quarantine station going into WA. Sure enough at the Border Village there was a Quarantine Station with an inspection just as thorough as crossing the Vic to SA border. We had a few bananas and three tomatoes, which we put in the bin provided, but they still inspected all the food cupboards, fridge and car fridge for all fruit, vegetables and honey. So we had to cross with no fruit or fresh veggies, which was a bit of a nuisance.

Now we are at Madura Pass. It's quite a surprise after hundreds of kilometers of flat country to come across this hilly "pass". Three caravans which arrived in the park today have engine trouble.One 2012 model Prado (diesel) One Nisan Patrol (diesel) and one over heating 1990 petrol Prado. It’s not a good place to break down so far from everything.

We left hoping that all those people with engine problems got the help they needed.

Tuesday we drove to Fraser Range. Fraser Range is a working sheep station of 475000 acres. They have a small caravan park and welcome travelers. We paid to have tonight’s dinner with other travelers and station roustabouts (all young people, either backpackers or Aussie young people wanting an experience). Dinner was good,(bangers and mash) not having to cook is a bonus and as we had no veggies it was nice to have a full meal.

Wednesday after breakfast of bacon and eggs we left Fraser Range early about 8am and drove to Southern Cross passing through Norseman which marked the end of our Nullarbor Crossing.
