When we woke up at Wudinna, this van had rolled in late overnight.  Sam is riding around Australia on a unicycle!!!  He is raising money and awareness for breast cancer in support of his sister Connie.  Mammoth effort coming across the Nullabor with the heat recently!!

We finally got to the coast at Pt Kenny and went for a walk on the first of many jettys LOL

We decided to stay at Venus Bay, it's so pretty there and very protected.  There were dolphins playing in the bay just off the jetty.  This guy stayed very still for me :)

Just so you know Steven, Bun got that feeling again while looking over the edge :)

There's a great loop road between Venus Bay and Elliston that takes you past caves and rock formations and cliffs.

Photo above is Bun thinking I'm going to do that one day, photo below is what he was looking at LOL

The beach above is Surfer's Beach.  Such a shame that Bun still doesn't have a surfboard because it was the perfect beach and surf for a beginner!

We spent some time watching the sealion colony above, some were just lying around like slugs haha but some were playing in the water.  Bun said it looked like puppies playing!

 While at Venus Bay, we got chatting to Bill and Marina who were cleaning squid.  Lovely people who explained how to clean those messy little suckers!  We swapped a dozen eggs for some calamari!!

After a night there, when we were leaving it was blowing a gale so we decided to creep along the coastline to Streaky Bay.

  

Murphy's Haystacks, I'm actually in that photo but you'll have to zoom in :)  occasionally Bun takes a photo so you know I'm still on this trip.

We spent 2 nights at Streaky Bay because of the heat and the wind.  We did an early morning bike ride to check out some of the beaches before the heat set in.  We met a couple from Melbourne, Anthony and Cathy, who are on a surfing holiday to the West.  They were camping in a tent so we invited them over for an icy 'boost' juice to cool off.  Bun took the motorbike to the other end of the caravan park to pick them up and came back 3-up! Cathy had never been on a motorbike before so that was some introduction :)

After Streaky Bay, with it still blowing 'like a bitch', we went to Ceduna and spent most of the afternoon in the van with the air-con running.  Next morning we went for a drive around Thevenard and visited a quilt shop :) and then spent a couple of hours at the Museum.  I think that is Ceduna's answer to the Men's Shed idea.  Lots of retired guys moving stuff around and chatting, not sure how much actually gets done but they're happy.

After lunch at the servo in Penong (okay food but really poor attitude!), we got to Cactus Beach and stayed overnight.  A walk around the point led us to these cliffs.

It is set up as a National Surfing Reserve now with some basic facilities, very peaceful at the moment but it must get pretty hectic when the surf is running.

After watching the sunset and sunrise, Bun said maybe we should turn into hippies :)

As the wind was going be an easterly next day, we decided that was the time to head across the Nullabor.  We thought the road into Fowler's Bay wouldn't be too bad as half of it was bitumen.......bad call!!  The dirt section had us going about 10-15kph because of the corrugations!  However after advice from a couple on the jetty, we took a different road out that was much better :)

The rest of the day took us to the Border Village, so we stayed there for the night.  That meant we could have a roast for tea and use a few more of our vegetables up before the border crossing.  The time difference was getting to us though because the clock said 5pm but our bodies said 7.30pm!  So we were in bed early by the clock, unfortunately the morning led to more confusion LOL!  Bun woke up at 4am!! So half an hour later, he was washing the outside of the van to get rid of salt hahaha.  Breakfast was also early and even after a slow start to the day, we went through the border at 6am.  Of course, by 7.30 when we came across the first servo, he had a Redbull!  He would have had one an hour earlier if he could have :)

The photo above was taken at the Head of the Bight!  Callie, look at the teal colour!!

The camel in this shot looks like it's dancing!!!

More spectacular cliffs on the way, see how little the van looks on the left?

Just to let you know how far we were from EVERYWHERE!!

We stayed overnight at Fraser Range Station, 120kms before Norseman.  It is a van park on a working sheep station, a bit over 330,000 acres Bun said.  We met a lovely family there, they are moving from Shark Bay (near Denham) to 'somewhere on the east coast'.  It is great to meet new people all the time!

One night, when I think I had some cabin fever from being inside because of the heat, we started playing I Spy with the loser having to get tea.  I lost and look what we ate!

Even at Cactus Beach with no power, the generator and Thelma kicked into action so we could have another juice!

We are now at Kalgoorlie and are off shortly to go on a tour of the Superpit!  I've also been told that there's a GREAT craft shop in town so I'll have to see if I can get there too LOL

I emailed off resumes for a couple of jobs yesterday, one is a farm caretaking position that is just for 2-3 weeks at Dalwallinu so that would be good if it happens.  The other was at a caravan park in Bunbury but that would have meant us having to race down there over the weekend for an interview.  To be honest we are not really into rushing when we've only just got to WA :)

That's all folks!

Cheers
