EUCLA TO KALGOORLIE-3 MARCH 2008


NO DEVIANTS ALLOWED HERE
The sign said it all.It really felt as though one could lock the wheel and read a book. But you have to be careful of that strange feeling of wanting to drift into the path of rare oncoming vehicles which you can see coming from far away.
Up at 5:30am-wonderful crescent moon and super star display. Big drive today to get through the Nullarbor-800klms to kalgoorlie.

At an all night road house, the trucker's breakfast was welcome-the sausage component was even a decent bratwurst, unlike those dreadful Aussie beef snags that just cry out to be burnt on a barbie.It was as well I had brought my West coast eagles cap as this turned out to be an entrenched Eagles lair.The toilet sign intrigued. They usually say-keep door closed to stop insects getting in. This one added a caution about snakes!!Made one sit on the seat rather carefully and only after thorough reconnaissance.Ladies seemed to contemplate this caution with studied interest.
