| Preparing to drive the straights of the Nullarbor. This and cruise control is all you need!!! |
Nullarbor comes from the Latin phrase "nullus arbor meaning no trees named in 1866 by Edward Drelisser.

Longest straight road in Australia 146.6 kms
After the longest straight the landscape changes and the highway passes the picturesque Bunda Cliffs with lookouts and rest area where we stayed the night.

View from the caravan on the Bunda Cliffs our camp for the night.
Most of the traffic was other vans or road trains such as the huge tyre truck that pulled in along side us,the truck had 3 trailers which had 42 tyres on the ground with 6 spares and then the 12 huge tyres it was transporting, massive!
Water is very precious along the Nullarbor but they do provide public water tanks which you can fill containers as you need.It is not drinkable but handy for showering etc. we are buying drinking water at the moment which we have done since the Northern Territory.

146km of straight road is incredible - must have been an interesting experience driving on it (although I imagine the novelty wore off after 20kms and you just wanted a corner or 2)
ReplyDeleteIs tying up the steering wheel for real? Interesting road, wouldn't want to drive that one to often.
