Well, guess what.

We have sold our home in Ballina and are now heading to Tasmania. We were about to board the plane to head back to Perth and pick up our car and caravan and start heading north. That will wait, as on the day we were leaving, we sold the home privately to a lovely couple from Sydney who are the Aunt and Uncle of two of our good friends.

We still flew over and picked up the van and took 6 days to arrive at the ship to take us to Tassie. We had very long days of about 10 hours of driving each day, always camping at amazing spots on the side of the road. We really enjoyed it, especially with the anticipation of finally been able to pick a new home in one of our many favourite spots in Tassie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We set off across the Nullarbor. I have had many people say to me that this part of the trip will be boring…how wrong were they. Yes, there are stretches where we had to entertain ourselves…more good music and conversation, but there is so much to see. The ever changing landscape, the incredible views in many spots, the unique roadhouses every couple of hundred kms, watching Mals knuckles when the road trains pass us and trying not to look at all the road kill…kangaroos, emus, wombats etc. Sad. The animals don’t mix well with the road trains. We had a mission to find the most expensive fuel…$1.92 a diesel litre. A captured market !!!

The first night we slept by the side of the road again, but on a cliff overlooking an amazing view of the Great Australian Bight. See the photos below.

The second night we pulled into a sheep station that offered somewhere to park the van. It was called Fraser Range Sheep Station, and we both enjoyed the stay a great deal.

Hopefully you will enjoy my photos that show our trip far better than I can describe.
