Day Two- Crossing The Nullarbor.

Chris took the first 2 hour driving shift from Madura to Mundrabilla after a 7:30am depature. For this section of the crossing we ran parallel with the escarpment on our left. Then Kevin drove a 2 hour stint to Nullarbor Roadhouse where we stopped for our picnic lunch. It was during this later section that we stopped at two of the vantage points overlooking the Great Australian Bight, for the compulsory photo session and general leg stretch for everyone. The sheer cliffs dropping vertically to the Southern Ocean are a truly magnificent sight. After our lunch stop Gail got behind the wheel and drove a further 250km to Penong where we re-fuelled again. Jim drove the final leg today into and through Ceduna then south on the Eyre Peninsula to Streaky Bay - our overnight destination. We covered 802km today in very mild conditions, top temp 28 degrees which made it much easier on all and on the Subaru.
Dearest petrol to date was at Balledonia in WA, 165.9 cents/litre.
After checking in to a motel Jim and I drove out to the caravan park for a look then popped into the hotel for a quick beer. Diner for all was at the hotel where we enjoyed the very reasonable and delicious daily special, over-looking the water.
Back at the motel we planned tomorrow's travel.

Kevin & Gail.
