Caravan Trip 2015 week 1

 
With the graduation ceremonies and Sarah's 21st done and dusted we had a window of a few months to do some more traveling. We packed up and headed East again! After a busy morning of doing last minute jobs we left for our first stop Lake Grace... 


 It was a bit windy and cold there but still saw a great sunset as we walked the dogs along the main street of Lake Grace...

After a very windy night and not much sleep we drove onto Esperance where we camped in Dad's yard for 2 nights. The weather was stunning and we enjoyed the beach and walking out on the jetty and being "tourists" in what was once out home town...
 
 




 


 After a few enjoyable days it was time to head out to the Nullarbor.  We made it to Balladonia and set up...
 

We took the dogs for a walk along the golf hole and saw another beautiful sunset...

Next morning we woke to this unusual fog which was also very pretty...

 


Then it was off for another long day of travel with the trucks on the Nullarbor. We had a few breaks at Cocklebiddy and Mundrabilla before arriving at Eucla for the night...
 



 Next day was quite hot  but we still had a break and checked out the cliffs along the Great Australian Bight again. They looked different in different light and seasons from when we visited last year...
 
Always trying to get the perfect shot
 

We stopped at Nullarbor roadhouse for lunch and Nundroo for a cuppa before arriving at Penong for the night. We actually stayed in the same caravan bay as we did last year! 

 
With the change in time zones for us and the near end of daylight saving the sun did't rise until nearly 7.30!  We drove through the quarantine checkpoint and handed over a few vegies. We stopped at Ceduna for a walk and to buy some fruit and vegies before moving onto Poochera and Wudinna.

 Having made it "half way across Australia" we set up camp in Kimba for the night...
