Nullabor to Kalgoorlie


2nd July 2013

Today we managed to get on the road just before 8am and with a big day of driving ahead, it was good that we managed to get away pretty early.

As we continued to cross the remainder of the Nullabor, we saw about 20 Wedge-Tailed Eagles, 14 Camels and plenty of other bird life. The only other point of note throughout the day is that we drove on Australia's longest straight stretch of road, which was 146.5kms long.

Other than that there really isn't much to report on today. We made it to Kalgoorlie at around 6pm and we were met on the road in by our mate, Maca and were then escorted back to his place in town. Unfortunately his wife, Kelly has had to fly to Perth for a few days at a conference but we are looking forward to catching up with her on Friday when she gets home.

The night was spent having dinner and catching up with Maca, Kendra & Kobi (their kids), which was great because we hadn't seen each other for quite a while now. Over the next couple of days we'll do some touristy things in Kalgoorlie before hitting the road for Esperance on Saturday, which we are really looking forward to.
