"No matter where you go, there you are."

8^{th –} 15^th December

We are finally heading into Western Australia. We left Ceduna early and had a good run (300km) to the Nullabor Roadhouse. We were going to top up our fuel but decided against it when we saw the price, $1.87 per litre for diesel. For the next 100km the road runs right along the cliff tops of the Great Australian Bight. We pulled off at several spots and got fabulous views over the ocean. Late in the afternoon we crossed the border at Euchla then drove another 75km to a good free camp spot. We had another long day of driving across flat open plains arriving into Norseman mid afternoon. The van park was dry and dusty but it was great to have power and hot showers again.

We moved on to Esperance, it was nice to be back on the coast. We stayed four days and got the car serviced and the windscreen replaced. The coastline around Esperance is stunning, beautiful white beaches and turquoise water. We also met Sammy the seal who lives under the Esperance jetty.

Leaving Esperance we headed through the wheatbelt country up to Perth. The countryside was golden wheatfields as far as the eye could see. We pulled in at Hyden to visit the famous Wave Rock then moved on to the small town Corrigin for an overnight stop. We finally made it into Perth on the 15^th December arriving at Ferg’s brothers place mid morning.
