One Small Lap
Free Camp
Caitlin has a slightly better night, so we think the fever has basically broken, so we’ll head off today.
We have 400km over the next two days to do so we can be in Port Lincoln on Thursday afternoon. I’ve found a couple of campsites that look good. Our first world trouble is one is about 100km from Ceduna, the other is about 100km from Port Lincoln. So a either a bigger drive today or tomorrow.

With the 2.5 hr time change, we officially wake up very late. What a great night’s sleep, even with the trucks not that far away it is so peaceful.

We all sleep in, and we really don’t get out of bed till 8. You can just hear the faint noise of the trucks as they pass. Can’t say I heard anything overnight. It’s been so quiet here.

A day I’ve been looking forward to for a while. Finally hitting the Nullarbor, although sad too as it kinda signals the beginning of the end of the trip.
We go out via Coolgardie, not as big as I was expecting, almost a ghost town really. Back down to Norseman and finally heading east. That’s 200km done.

A nice quite morning. We want to hit the road reasonably early. We think we want to try and get to Esperance on the 30th, The showground is operating as overflow camping accommodation, you can’t book, although I’m told by the local Visitor’s Centre that there is plenty of room. Esperance has a fireworks display on so I want to be sure we’re OK, so arriving the day before is prudent.

It’s been a great Christmas, having not yet seen Esperance, I’m really happy we had Xmas here, Albany’s been great. But it’s time to hit the road again. It’s rained overnight and we needed to do some early morning shopping, so packup is a little more difficult and it’s just after 10 as we roll out.

A really nice night. Overnight a campervan and 4×4 with rooftop tent have turned up.
Kalbarri NP has two parts, one north of Kalbarri and the other to the south, the Southside is more about the coastline. We leave the van behind and take the opportunity to backtrack a bit to see some of the sights. We visit Natural Bridge and Island Rock.
Continue reading “Day 90 – Lucky Bay to Seven Mile Beach (Geraldton)”
Today is going to a big day, we are up reasonably early. I’d like to get going between 8-9am. By the time we have breakfast, showers and packup, we head into town to fill up with fuel it is 9am when we head out of Isa
Given how hot it is we have a really good sleep, it is a nice reminder how effective a fan can be and maybe we don’t need AC all the time.
I’ve looked at the itinerary and I think we can fit in a side trip to Lawn Hill. There are two ways to get there. We can go west via a dirt road to Burketown and then head south to Gregory Downs, or we can go south to the “Four Ways” then west to Gregory downs, the latter is longer although quicker, as it is all tar, but will require about 150km of backtracking the following day. Did I mention I hate back tracking?
