Across the Nullarbor

Earlier this month I was in touch with Brian through a Solo website. We arranged to meet in Ceduna and spent the next four days travelling in tandem. It was an easy trip and allowed us to park safely in free camping each night. We started to meet the same people every couple of days. We'll meet them again at either Wagin or Albany.

I have decided that it is nice to travel with someone for a few days. Four days was enough with someone I'd just met, maybe longer with friends. We got into a rhythm, leaving about 9am, stopping for a cuppa at about 10.30, lunch at midday or thereabouts, an occasional stretch break , then looking for an overnight park from about 3pm. Brian kept a flask of hot water and I joined him for a coffee at morning tea time. In the afternoon, I put together a snack plate and we had a drink. By dark, we were locked up in our respective vans, usually with a dozen or more other vans.

Watch out for low flying aircraft

I wondered why there were pedestrian crossings in the middle of nowhere.
I discovered that the lines marked the beginning and end of the landing area
