19th November 2013-On the Road

19th November 2013
Our first morning waking up on the road and we headed off early again as have learnt that if the wind is going to come up, it will do so later in the day. We will be starting across the Nullabor later today after a stop a Norseman. Les' sister Dianne gave us some maps, info and pictures of the town as their mother Barbara Moyle grew up there. So armed with the map and photo's we found the site where the Moyle house once stood. Norseman isn't an attractive town ship and I can only imagine how basic it must have been back then.

Deciding that his would be a great opportunity for morning tea (I have a good supply of Lions Christmas Cakes!!) we pulled into the parking bay at the local Tourist Stop only to bump straight into friends Geoff and Jill. They are from South Australia and have been on the road for a few months, we knew they were in the area but thought they were a few days ahead of us and were expecting to catch up to them somewhere in SA. We hadn't seen each others vans or tow vehicles so it gave the guys a good opportunity for a cht whilst Jill and I walked the dogs. Geoff and Jill headed off first with waves and laughs about catching up again somewhere on the Nullabor.......we didn't know how soon this would come true.

We pushed on to Caiguna before resting for the night, it is a stopping point we have used before and though it is plain (you don't get anything fancy on the Nullabor) it is a nice level spot with a beautiful sunset.
