Thursday 30/08/2012 Day 67: Fraser Range Rest Area to
Caiguna BP Roadhouse.
It was 4 degrees C at 07:00 this
morning. We were by ourselves as all the grey nomads had parked well away, they
must know we have children. We headed off towards Domblegabby Rest Area. We got
to the BP Balladonia Roadhouse at Morning Tea. We topped up at $1.93c/ltr and
had a look at the Museum. We saw the pieces of Skylab and a piece of the
Mundrabilla Meteorite. Changed over drivers and Amanda started down the 90 mile
straight. We drove through a shower and arrived at our designated stop. The
Rest Area looked like an abandoned Service Station and was missing the long
drop? We decided not to go back to the Baxter Rest Area and continued on. We
pulled into the Caiguna BP Roadhouse and decided to stay on an unpowered site round
the back. The powered sites have quickly filled full of grey nomads. Ryan &
Amy caught up on some school work. Ryan & Les went looking for metallic
rocks and only found old car wrecks. It has cooled quickly again after the sun
went down at 17:15. This is our 2nd day across the Nullarbor.
Daily Stats: Distance: 300km, Duration: 4hrs30min, Weather: Showers,
Windy & Cool.
