Madura

 18 – 19 November 2022

After leaving Salmon Gums we stopped briefly at Norseman before finally heading east and on to the Eyre Highway which would take us across the Nullarbor and into South Australia.

We usually have a picnic lunch but we were driving through rain (good thing we replaced the wiper blades), and the sky ahead was dark so we stopped at Balladonia for lunch in the roadhouse before continuing on to Madura.

Travelling east to west we had to adjust our clocks forward 45 minutes so it was after 4:00pm when we pulled up for the night. More rain was forecast but we had timed our arrival well and were able to get set up and dinner organised before the rain started. It was really cold and windy outside so we had our pre-dinner drinks and a grazing platter for dinner inside where we were warm and dry. Sometimes you just have to adapt to the local conditions.

More rain had been forecast for the morning but the sky was clear as we packed up and set off to continue our journey across the Nullarbor.
