Across The Nullabor: Day 2

The stumpy tail lizard I spread all over my car a little later on was definately dead.

We stopped in Ceduna which is the last big town before the actual Nullabor Plain so I bought me a swag because I missed the one I slept in in the outback. They're so much warmer than tents an all.

Zzzzzzzzzz

Just Not Happening

Most towns in Australia like to have some kind of claim. We passed one Middle Of Nowhere place claiming to be "The Town With A Secret." We didn't stop to find out what the secret was in case it was the special ingredients in the Backpacker Pies. Ceduna is famous for its oysters so we pulled up outside an oyster bar with the obligatory Big Oyster outside and Kliff got us a plate of six.

Wasn't happening.

I tried, I really did but it got to the back of my throat and my throat went, "What the fuck is that and why isn't it cooked?!?"

Tim politely declined Kliff's kind offer of Seafood That Resembles Snot.

More Things To Run Over

Absolutely Nothing To See Here

Later on we stopped at the famous Camel/Kangeroo/Wombat sign and finally hit The Nullabor. Nullabor Plain basially means Treeless Plain. Talk about getting literal, kilometers of nothingness, no phone signal, no radio. We only had a total of 200 songs on Kliff and Tim's MP3 players so we listed to them on repeat for the five days it took us to get to Perth.

Kliff And Tim, Setting Up At Border Village

From SA To WA

We camped at Border Village which is aptly named on account of it being on the South Australia/Western Australia border and took photos of the Big Kangeroo, Rooey 2, which is possibly the ugliest Big Thing I've seen since I got to Oz. Seriously, with this thing guarding the border you've half a mind to turn back.
