So where did we leave from...oh yes just hitting the Nullabor Road House (Motel, pub, diner/restaurant, petrol station, pee stop and flight centre for seeing the bight by air), well we arrived after 9 hours drive from Port Augusta (we were going to stop at Ceduna, but that didn't happen) and checked in for the night. We hit the restaurant and had a feed and a trick played for us by the waiter come manager to amuse us while waiting for our food and then promptly went back to the room to chill in front of the telly and have a beer or three...well I could because it was Caza's turn to drive next...hehehe.

A few beers later and a bit of Caza's singing to the ipod later we were both asleep.
The next day its up and another beautiful day and off to the Bight for a look. This day 148 whales are cruising past. FANTASTIC!
 |
| The middle of nowhere and did not see one of these creatures on the road |
 |
| Open roads |
Okay so where were we...oh yeah the open road and heading towards the bight to see the whales...
So whales aplenty and loving the action, the whales shlopping, going straight up and splashing down.

I took about 2 or 300 hundred photos but thought better of it to put them all up.....
So leaving this incredible piece of wilderness we head off towards cocklebiddy, our next nights stay.
We stop at a point on the Nullabor- obviously nothing about, but this is a point (of many) where the RFDS (Royal Flying Doctor Service) can land if anyone needs help. it starts at "the pedestrian crossing" and this is when we reminisce about the Beatles....

| Biggest pedestrian crossing I ever crossed |
So we keep on going and end up in the "city" of cocklebiddy.. we grab some grub, a book (90c) and a fair nights sleep stopping every so often to do quirky stuff or just look at something...meanwhile singing loudly to the Cd's playing in the car.
and as you can see the "city" of Cocklebiddy is big (with kangaroos 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 million population. But if you get lost there is help at the info centre....

| South Australian to Western Australian border (looking for fruit, honey and meat) |
Anyway we carry on towards Fraser Range Station, our next destination and we look forward to this with some excitement as we are doing a tour of the area around the stations surroundings. however come across a bunch of rocks seen some 100 meters from the road and here is 2 formations we have a look at....

Okay so we carry on and finish the actual Nullabor and get to Norseman and then after a brief stop to say hi to some old friends and acquaintances we head up to Kalgoorlie.
Our pile of rocks we made on the side of the road to stake our claim on crossing the Nullabor, "oom mya pudmyarm".
Back at Kalgoorlie, ahhh the old times, the mine still looking the same and back to the 2 up to show Caza and take a couple more shots...

| 2 up |
Well that where it ends for this part of the trip, enjoying the scenery, company, laughs and new memories, thanks Caza, so far so good! Until the next chapter.....
