Across Australia July 2012

Started holidays on Friday 13th July....Superstition posed no problem for me that day....I was heading to Western Australia by 3am that morning.

I was heading home for Family birthdays and celebrations and catch up time. It was my Mums 80th, my Daughters, Bro in laws and my elder Sisters birthdays all rolled into a few weeks.

With just 3 weeks off there wasn't going to be much time for sitting idle, so driving across the Nullabor was a trip of "goin like the clappers" to get to W.A. quickly. And quickly it was!

There was no time for pics along the way so the ones I have posted below are on my return trip which took 3 1/2 days.
I have to apologise for the clarity in the pics as they were taken with my old '98 vintage digital camera. Having shot some video as well it kinda filled my memory up, so a lot less piccies were taken. I'm still waiting for my Nikon D3100 to be placed in my hands :)

I enjoyed the trip a whole heap, but then I really do enjoy travelling the Nullabor. After as many times as I have done it of late it's become second nature. One day in the not too distant future I'll actually get to do it at leisure. And when that happens I'll finally fit in my shark cage diving @ Port Lincoln to boot !
