Nullabor, Chapter One, South Austalia.

On realising the magnitude of the journey still awaiting us there was nothing to do except move on into Western Australia. Besides the weather wasn't beach or fishing weather. Overcast clouds and the intermittent showers and drizzle shadowed the beauty of the remaining seaside towns we wanted to visit, but in reality, time at the essence we had to move and pretty fast.  Had the weather been good we would have pulled over into Ceduna and stayed a couple of nights, but again weather where you can't enjoy might as well push on. 

With that we called Szymon and were certain that the mail had been received at the local Post office.  With this collected and sorted matters that needed attention we polished off some watermelon and one last Lebanese cucumber before we hit WA and the quarantine post where we would be asked to surrender all fruits and vegetables( surrender or I'll shoot!... ha ha!!).  Being mindful of this situation we used up the last of the pumpkin that we had and made pumpkin soup, the tomatoes we diced up, onion sliced up, added garlic, some red capsicum and voila tomato concase, great for topping on toast, side dish to accompany fish or meat or as an extra for bolognese sauce...whatever....food was always another adventure that we enjoyed to see what could be done with what when we had to.

On passing through Ceduna the minds were made up to travel the hours. 
"With foot to the floor we crossed the Nullabor".

How's that for a bit of rhyme in my blime!!

 Travelling the first length, still in South Australia, we decided to call it a day after six hours driving.  We pulled into a free camp site for overnigt and met some other travellers on their way to WA, others travelling from WA to the east.  Nightfall came and movie of the night was "Ferris Bueller's Day Out"......well why would you want to go back to work, the mundane, the same routine?  I think you are the master of your own answer to that one.   Another wakening morning, coffee on, showers taken, breakfasts had, van hooked up, everything inside and outside checked to make sure was secure and turned off it was ready to hit the road again to transpass the second length of the Nullabor Plain.
