South Australia, well certainly round the coast is very flat with very few trees. What trees are there, are very short and more like shrubs. To me it was a very boring landscape. The Nullarbor is the only way to get into Western Australia if you are going round the coast. It is very long and there is very little to see, so you are very relieved when you get to the other side! We drove it over two days, camping just before the boarder. We did this because we wanted to eat up some of our vegetables as you can't take them into Western Australia.
If you remember the large moth we found at Cummins. Well, we encountered quite a few more when we camped for the night. We have head torches and when I went out in the middle of the night I was dived bombed by loads of them. If somebody had videoed it, it would have been quite funny! When we stopped at the quarantine just a couple of km from where we camped the whole place was covered with dead ones.
We followed a great storm on the Nullarbor and the different greens of the shrubs as we neared the end were lovely. Of course the Head of Bight was amazing, we didn't see any whales!
The Nullarbor has the longest straight bit of road in Australia, it is
145.6 kilometres (90.5 miles). Yes, very exciting driving! We were quite pleased when we finally hit a corner!
