Nullarbor Roadhouse,
Australia
Saturday, August 18, 2007
We travelled part way across the Nullarbor plain, more than 700 km of nothing, on our way from South Australia to Western Australia. The scenery was featureless but nevertheless, magnificently large.
We stopped off at a whale watching observation point on the great australian bight marine national park. We were rewarded with the sight of several whales, including a closeup of a mother and calf southern right whales. We can't get over how close they were to us.
We spent the night at the campsite at the Nullarbor Roadhouse. We had an expensive drink and a game of darts at the roadhouse, then went back to our van in order to cook and freeze all our fresh vegetables before we crossed the quarantine point on our way into western australia. The quarantine police are ruthless as we found out to our cost when entering south australia. We had a pack of red and green peppers "stolen" from us that we had purchased only a few hours before from Woolworths. They were still un-opened. Can you guess where they ended up. We reckon that the vegetable police are all vegetarians.
