The Nullarbor – Balladonia – Eucla - Ceduna

The next part of the trip took us across the Nullarbor and down the longest straight road in Australia and across the border to South Australia.

No heading needed, here:



We drove to Norseman first and filled up while Rich chatted to a bloke from Wembley who had moved forty years ago (what made him do that, I haven't the foggiest!). Norseman was a pretty sparse town where Rich was overcharged for a box of Special K. This box of cereal was supposed to be on offer for $3 but the shop assistant failed to notice this and charged a heavy $6.91! Not until Balladonia did Rich realise what had happened and he wasn't a happy bunny.

We stopped over at Balladonia and had a good chat with the managers who were from Doncaster and somewhere in Lancashire. The next day we tackled the longest straight road and enjoyed countless k's of the same view. We stopped at Eucla and then crossed the border the next day to the lovely town of Ceduna.

After we'd parked up we popped into the visitor centre and asked if there were any walks to do. Well, we were glad we asked as the chap in the centre told us of a lovely one that was along the seafront and passed by grain silos and a fish factory. We were blown over by the possible sights to behold in this town and quickly departed to our campsite for tea. Oh, and we got our certificate for crossing the Nullarbor!
