To the Nullabor and Beyond

After getting our fill of Margaret River's finest we commenced our cross country road trip with our captain, Josh who drove the car the entire time, as neither of us drive manual and it was his baby. He packed a great free campsite guide so we were able to snuff accommodation fees the entire way across.  Stocked with some snacks we packed into his 1980's Subaru wagon, with no air-con or radio, and headed to his mom''s to stay for our first night.

Sandy and Steve's house was great nestled in the coastal country, equipped with compostable toilet, extensive veg garden, and hand made from recycled materials. We made a great dinner with most ingredients coming from the garden, walked to the top of the hill to see the lighthouse far off in the distance, and finished the evening with a great game of 501 darts.

After stocking up on superb rainwater, we voyaged forward opting for the coastal route. Our first stop was the nearby veggie stand to stock up on super affordable and delicious produce. They even had doughnut peaches, a personal favorite. We then drove east where Lauren saw a koala and stopped at Diamond Tree, one of three climbing trees in the area.

Heading up.

After getting our workout for the day we headed for Esperance, the windiest spot in Australia known for good surf. Upon our night time arrival we barbecued on one the many free gas barbis in Australia, and then found a campsite on the way to Norseman.

The next few days we voyaged on the Eyre Highway, the longest stretch of straight road in the world, which goes through the Nullabor Plain.
