Nullarbor

As we have been to Kalgoorlie before and not wanting to get caught up in the race crowed we drove straight through, and camped the night at a nice spot just before Norseman.Norseman is one of those places you always drive through not bothering to stop and look around, so this time we decided to go to the visitors center and see what was there and found there is quite a bit to see.With map in hand we were of on the history loop.

We have been across the Nullarbor a few times, already usually in a hurry, so this time we thought we would slow down and check out the scenery.Our first stop was Newman rock pool just for a coffee but would make a great overnight stop.Then off on our way again we came across a man on an old tractor towing an old tractor I think it was a Chamberlain it always astounds me the people that you see traveling some seem to do it so hard (on push bikes walking etc).The next night was a beautiful bush camp with plenty of bird life the budgies were plentiful nesting in every available tree hole they were really cute to watch.Back on the road again and on to the Australian Bight magnificent we camped here for the night with champagne in hand and watched the sun set really beautiful.While we were having breakfast in the morning the old tractor past us boy he makes really good time also about 25 motor bikes not to sure of there story. The next stop was a road side camp not to great a bit noisy so we are of again heading towards Ceduna.
