Nullarbor (treeless plain) We pulled up at Panong to drive quickly down to Cactus Beach, a famous surf beach. Planning to make our own coffee we were disappointed when unfortualty the generator decided to pack it in. Not a good start to the Nullarbor experience and with the forcast to be pretty hot it was a bit disapointing. Lucky the back up generator was enough to boil the kettle and make toast, this will have to do for the Nullabour trip and lets hope it does...

Ceduna We feel like we're are at the beginning of the Nullarbor so 2 nights here to prepare and then we are off.

Returning after lunch Tim and Melrose spent an hour at the post office signing and having photo taken for...

Staying at the Melrose show grounds- great spacious spot nested at the bottom of Mt Remarkable amongst gum trees, football oval and the show grounds. We spent the morning doing paperwork and school. (Weather was a bit windy and cool -we find it hard to venture out when weather is like this) In the afternoon we took a bike ride through the bike track generously donated by a local farmer to the town only 1.4km away. An interesting sleepy town, lots of bike tra...
