The Nullar-boring

The next 3 days after our EPIC Esperance Experience saw us travel 1830km in 3 days. We travelled from breakfast to dusk (we have no idea what the actual time is) and stopped only for forced pit stops (ok EVERYONE has to go - no options) and fuel. We also had the worst fuel ecomony the whole trip due to the strong winds that beat across this sparse land. We did stop to see the awesome Bunda cliffs along the Great Australian Bight but alas did not see any whales as it's just about time for them to migrate back towards Antarctica.
Crossing the SA border we realised we had to put the clock forwards 2.5 hours (due to daylight saving) and this is still causing havoc almost a week later with our wake/sleep cycles! It's really not a trip I'd like to repeat in a hurry even though the kids were awesome and extremely patient. We freecamped both nights in rest stops sometimes with fellow caravanners beside us and the last night with some REALLY NOISY roadtrains.
The rest of the time the kids did schoolwork, we listened to music, we played A-Z & numberplate games, we ate and ate and ate, we reminisced lots about the best & worst things from our trip (that will be our last post!) and we tried to work out how we will feel going back to 'normal life' after such an incredible life experience!




what time is it REALLY?
