Adelaide - Perth in 3 Days

Adelaide - Ceduna

         After having a few days in Adelaide before driving back to Perth seeing some friends of mine,
It was only Thursday I left Adelaide heading to Ceduna which had to go though Port Augusta. along the way I stopped of in a layby and what goes past the Indian Pacific.
Catching the back of the Indian Pacific
 
 
 
Further up I decided to go of tracks a bit and venture up into the Flinders for a while. unfortunately I ddnt walk to the top as I didn't have the time to but am sure it would of been worth While. 


The start of the walk to Mount Remarkable

 
 

Ceduna - Balladonia

I wont mention last night I slept in my car all night until this morning at 5am,
I have been across the Nullarbor once before but not in this direction. it was going to be different being on my own, now having a car on Gas and Petrol also with Cruise Control I just slotted the car to 109 kmh on Cruise control and of I went.  I did stop of to have a shower to freshen up at Penong.
My First stop after Penong would be Head of the Bight to see the Whales. I only saw them spouting there water up, but the view was beautiful here.
a foggy Sunrise over the Nullarbor Plain.


The actual start of the Nullarbor plain heading back to Perth.


Over looking the Great Aussie Bight.  

and there where Whales about, not that I could see.
 
It was then onto the Border of South Australia and Western Australia at Eucla. last time I didn't get stopped but this time is did, checking for fruit flies, any fruit or veg you have needs to be eaten or chucked in the bin before crossing the border. only had one apple which I put to use and eaten it.
then onto the longest straight road in Australia. this felt I was going for miles and miles with out a turn, its actually 90 miles long. car is looking good and cruising,
still Crossing the Nullarbor

Finally get to the start of the 90mile long  straight Road.


Beginning to feel tired as its go getting on 5pm and been on the road since 5am. I stayed at Balladonia this night well deserved Bangers and Mash and good nights rest.
