We awoke to a glorious sunrise over the Bunda Cliffs and as we had a 600+ km journey today we were aiming to leave early…

The trip back out was uneventful and we stopped briefly to look at the Wigunda Cave – one of the many caves found on the Nullabor plain.

Reaching the quarantine station and the SA/WA border we joined the queue to get inspected – and we were there over an hour due to the number of cars, trucks and vans that were lined up to go across.

There were some really big trucks hauling very large equipment – a common sight crossing the Nullabor…

We all waiting patiently as one by one we got across to WA…

and then continued on the long straight stretches of road. At one point the sea was visible as the road was close to the cliffs which were now quite small…

At Cocklebiddy where we stopped for a quick lunch, the Wells fridge issue continued with Rose trying to work out the issue, Branch making an appearance, Dave checking under the bonnet and Trev trying to assist…. but it had to wait as we needed to get on the road again… the free camp at Newman’s Rocks was still 300+ km away and time was marching on…

The landscape was changing and getting greener… the Australian coat of arms was seen an many a road sign…. and random highway runners provided some light relief as we journeyed on…

Sunset began as we pushed on trying to make camp before dark….

We finally arrived at Newman’s Rocks as the light was fading and set up camp…

The Wells’ fridge was finally running on gas although it would not turn on with power – seems a relay fault was to blame and so required another technician hopefully when we get to Esperance tomorrow…

Gordie lit the fire and we sat down to enjoy the evening.
