Where are the kangaroos? Norseman to Bush Camp - 62kms

We've been on the road for 25 days already and we haven't seen a single kangaroo - 
until today on the Nullarbor Plain, that is.
Such a shame that it had to be a dead one - it was a young one or possibly a wallaby. The road trains can't avoid them and they make quite an impression on a car's chasis too.
From memory, we expect to see more carnage as we cross the Nullarbor.
The Nullarbor boasts the world's longest golf course. Buy a ticket and try sinking a shot in the single hole waiting for you at every Roadhouse along the route!
By the way, Nullarbor means 'no trees', so we're keeping our fingers crossed that there'll be enough scrub to camp behind when we need to!

We had lunch, sitting on a tarpaulin on the edge of a straight, ribbon of road that disappeared into the horizon in both directions.

There are still tall, spindly trees, but they are getting fewer in number and low lying shrubs are becoming more predominant.
Mick and his partner, whom we met as we were leaving the motel, caught up with us along the way. A journalist, he videoed us briefly. Enjoyed meeting you, Mick.


Our trailers were weighted down with extra water today. 
Minor hills felt challenging and, with mainly a light head wind all the way, we arrived at our bush camp tired and hungry.

We bought fruit salads yesterday for tonight's dinner, topped up with thick peanut butter sandwiches, a chocolate slice and  condensed milk coffee. What more could we ask for! 

We hope to complete another 60kms tomorrow - with a little less water than we carried today. 

Will sleep well tonight!

Discovering Whyalla! Whyalla's Hummock Hill.

Image
I completed our NZ Passenger Declaration forms this morning. Then we climbed Hummock Hill, just behind the motel, to admire the views of Whyalla. This impressive sculpture of a scuba diver is just outside our motel. Below, views from Hummock Hill. Whyalla's unique, circular jetty. The foreshore is quite shallow. The sand beneath makes the sea appear pale blue in comparison to the dark blue of the deeper water. Whyalla has a busy steel mill. Steel and iron ore from the Iron Knob mines is barged out to awaiting ships. During WW2, the area was protected by a large, manned artillery gun. Behind the motel is a tranquil park with an aviary and the biggest tree I've ever seen! I forgot to mention that, on the way back, we detoured into Whyalla's main street and shouted ourselves to a lovely coffee and cheesecake!  Old habits die hard!

Time to be Realistic!

Well folks, we've been reviewing our plans! What an experience this has been! We've cycled over 2000kms, crossed 2 time zones and have survived some very challenging conditions. We're just not doing the daily mileage that we expected to do - hills, head winds, trailer weight and age being the main factors. This has meant more bush camps (over 25 so far) which in turn has meant carrying more heavy water supplies and food, which most certainly contributed to Del's broken spokes. With the hills of the Flinders Ranges, Broken Hill terrain and crossing the Great Dividing Range (some 1740kms), we realise that, at our age and with Del's bike problems, it is a challenge that would be lengthy, gruelling, potentially dangerous and probably beyond our ability. (We've cycled Coffs Harbour to Coolangatta on a previous trip.) We have decided to continue to Iron Knob then turn south to Whyalla, a major town with an airport. From there, we'll prepare to fly to Adelaide, the...
