12kms from Eucla we pass over the WA border into South Australia.....we just lost an entire 2 1/2 hours........bummer.
Another stretch of the Nullarbor lays ahead of us........sigh :(
This drive gets a little less interesting every time I travel it, and just when I think it's a bland as it can get, we arrive at the 'treeless plain', This is the last desert style stretch until we arrive in areas that are more heavily populated ie Penong population 215-woo hoo!! The most expensive petrol was at the Nullarbor Motel at $2.05 litre, and today was the first time we needed to use the cars air conditioner as conditions had been quite mild and overcast up until now.
A highlight today was in the form of an Echidna strolling across the road....he was sooo cute and made it safely to the other side-didn't see a chicken crossing with him ha ha ha.
Penong is a great little town and we have stayed here before, the big bonus is that there is water on tap!!! I quickly settled in and did the housework (ie swept the floor and shook out the mat) We are going to stay here for a few days as tomorrow has a round of the V8 Supercars and Australia is doing quite well in the cricket, so should be worth watching.
I pulled out the Weber and BBQ'd some chicken for dinner, we are out of fresh produce now as we haven't see a supermarket since last Saturday, and it's a good idea to run your supplies down to go through the Customs Checkpoint at Ceduna which is only 100km down the road, it's a case of eat it or lose it!
OUR RIG AT THE PENONG CARAVAN PARK......NOTE THE BLUE SKY!
