We spent 2 days crossing the Nullarbor from Western Australia into South Australia. It was a very long, very straight drive, broken up with a roadhouse or small town every few hundred kilometres. It’s pretty much all desert, so the scenery was mainly low scrub.
We travelled about 1300km, including 146km along Australia’s longest stretch of straight road. We were very lucky that we had a tail wind the whole way, which made for a much faster trip and saved us a load in diesel costs!!
The weather wasn’t great, but we still got to see the stunning cliffs of the Great Australian Bight.
We stayed in 2 great free roadside bush camps. It was cloudy, so we didn’t get the amazing starry skies we’d hoped for but we had beautiful sunsets and campfires both nights.
We didn’t see any camels or wombats, but very nearly hit a roo when we got caught out still driving at dusk. Pretty scary!!
