Day 59: One of the things we did work out at Coffin Bay was the big roundish splats of dung throughout our caravan park were emu poo, now we will forever know and be able to show everyone that we can track emus. Up and 'attem by 9 as we had a longish drive of 380 kms to Port Augusta. We had to drive down to Port Lincoln at the pointy end before turning north and following the side of the Eyre Peninsula to the top and then heading across country to PA. We went...

Day 57: Streaky Bay was left behind sadly but headed to the bottom end of Eyre Peninsula. We drove approx. 270 kms to Coffin Bay without a break because we had read that the seafood place in Port Lincoln (50 kms east of Coffin Bay closed at 2 pm). Our arrival time in Coffin was about 12:15 so we did the 4 Ps (park, power, pee and petrol), stuff goes out and stuff goes in. We cut it fairly finely going into the Bay with only 50 kms left in the tank as we had a...

Day 55: Packed and left Penong yesterday after a very quiet evening.

We tried to find a radio station to get the SA time correct cause I was wrong on last blog, about an hour out, forgot daylight saving. So, Mister Clever decided to us...

Day 53: Left Esperance and headed north to Norseman 200km. Stopped for lunch at BP servo cause that is the only decent thing in Norseman. Why when it is at the end of the Nullarbor and every tourist has to go through does it not do something with the town, really sad I think. Anyway, turned eastward and another 100 km till we reached Fraser Range Station. We have been meaning to stay here the last three trips but have skipped it due to time constraints etc b...
