Over The Nullabor

Tues 27^th

It was a fairly uneventful day with the only stops for fuel and golf. Balledonia is where parts of the Skylab fell to Earth. We spent the night at Fraser Range Sheep Station, a farm that is really capitalising on the number of campers on the road. It has powered sites, and amenities on a par with most caravan parks. There were lovely hot showers, although they were coin in the slot at $1 for five minutes. The site cost us $30, but we all needed to take a little time to recharge our batteries, do some laundry and solve those little problems that happen when you are travelling long distances.

Wed 28^th

Our first stop was Norseman, a town of about 1000 – the biggest place we’ve seen since Ceduna. Fuel was down to161.9 so filing up wasn’t quite so painful. The golf course was a little out of town and the landscape looked like a wasteland with large clay pans, areas of water erosion, salt pans and some skinny trees. We had lunch at Kambalda and then continued on to Kalgoorlie where we are staying in a free camp in the main street on the edge of town. We found a big (huge actually Woolworths where we were able to replenish our supplies. At last we were able to get fresh fruit and vegetables.
