Across The Nullabor: Day 3

Word of advice. If you're going to fall asleep outside or kip in a swag, don't forget the insect repellant. I woke up with a few bites on my face, Kliff had War and Peace in Braille down one side of his mush, I swear down we counted over 100 bites.

It was a bloody hot day, must have been 40C, and it was today that we learned that if you pump the A/C to high in my car it makes the car smell like petrol.

Bugger.

Anyway, who needs A/C when you have a bottle of Febreeze you can empty out and fill with water. If you wind all the windows down and spray yourself its loads nicer and because of the reminants of Febreeze we all smelt lovely apart from Tim who hadn't showered since Adelaide. So armed with our new High Tech Cooling Device we carried on and finished the Nullabor. Piece of piss.

Doing The Longest White Line In Australia

About To Embark On The 90 Mile Straight

This part of Oz has the 90 Mile Straight, Australia's longest straight road. There's nothing to do for the next 146.6 kilometres but try to get road trains to honk you to keep you awake (and in Kliff's case, raid the esky for beer). We got 10 Honk-Honk points, not a brilliant effort. Come on road train drivers, do your part to keep backpackers alert and mildly entertained.

We finally got to Norseman and celebrated the Crossing Of The Nullabor with a BBQ and a few beers and we met lots of nice people to get horribly drunk with.

Nom Nom Nom

Such a friendly country, Australia.
