Saturday 01/09/2012 Day 69: Jilah Rockhole Rest Area
(W.A.) to Nundaroo Hotel/Caravan Park (S.A.)
The wind whipped up early this
morning about 02:00 shaking the van. We got up early and packed up and set off
at 07:35 (WST). We filled up again at the Mundrabilla Roadhouse and headed for
the border. We climbed up through Eucla and drove through the border village
and then stopped at the lookout. We continued on and had a driver change before
the Nullarbor Roadhouse where we filled up at $2/ltr again. We were fortunate
today to get fuel at the Nullarbor Roadhouse; the lady behind the counter had
visited the Whale Centre the previous day. We then went to the Head of Bight Whale
Centre and was lucky enough to see 15 Southern Right Whales and their new
calves. We had to dodge the shinglebacks & snakes driving out of the Whale
Centre Marine Park. We carried on and arrived at the Nundaroo Roadhouse at
15:48 (CST). We are here with 3 other vans on a undefined powered site. There
was 1 toilet working in a shared room with a shower. This our 4th day across the Nullarbor.
Daily Stats: Distance: 450km, Duration: 6hrs43min, Weather:
