Well...........That Was A Long Drive!

After Albany we headed for a little town north called Hyden, this is where Wave Rock is and I have been wanting to see this place since I saw it as a kid on Ask The Leyland Brothers. We weren't disappointed, it was pretty cool. Hyden itself was a nice little town as they took a lot of pride in the way it looked.



Not quite Mike and Mal Leyland!


After wave rock we headed for Kalgoorlie, home of the Super-Pit. It's a massive gold/Nickel mine that has to be seen to be believed, HUGE. Kalgoorlie had some fantastic pubs in the main street as well, like the place stood still in time.


THE BIG HOLE !!


Lovely Pubs.



From Kalgoorlie we moved on to Norseman, the start of the 1200 Klm drive to Ceduna. Commonly known as the "crossing the Nullarbor" it's just a long drive with the actual Nullarbor Plain only a hundred or so Klm of treeless plains. A good drive none the less and another thing on our bucket list to tick off.



Yep.....No Corners for 146.6 Km.


Saw some massive rigs out here.

The drive was pretty good all up, the wind was a bit of a hindrance to the fuel consumption of the rig but you have to get there somehow when you have your home behind you! We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery during the drive and would not hesitate to do it again.




Some of the views along the bight were fantastic.


ENOUGH OF THE SELFIES ALREADY !!!!

There were plenty of camp spots along the way, some looking out over the Great Australian Bight, million dollar views.

So we made it to South Australia and onto the Eyre Peninsula.
