Fraser Range Station - Day 7

We woke at 5am today, not a time on my dial since the kids were babies but with such early nights,  we've had our 8 hours and are ready to get up.  Another day of driving, we got petrol at Caiguna for $1.97 although we did see it for $1.99, whats 2cents among friends!  Dan also paid a whopping $6 for a coffee, I think even he was shocked.  It rained again on & off for the day, not unusual for us when we travel!  We saw our 1st emus today, we have come such a long way and each day noting we hadnt seen any and we saw heaps today.  We also saw so many wedgetail eagles, such big birds with strong legs, realy graceful in the air but nasty on the ground making a mess of the poor road kill.  Caiguna is where the time changes to West Aust time so a long 329kms of central time where we didnt really know what time we were on.  We travelled through Madura pass which was also a beautiful sight, no where safe to pull up for a photo but got a reasonable shot from the passenger seat while doing 90kms hour.  Today was one of our longer days at well over 600kms, our 1st day being our longest doing over 700kms.  We stopped at Balladonia to see the piece of skylab that fell there many years ago, they have it up on the corner of the roof at the roadhouse.  We made it to Fraser Range Station, what a credit to the owners this place is.  It is 437 thousand acres, the boundary from north to south is 160 kms long & 27 kms wide.  The property is classed as being on the western edge of the nullabor but is a huge contrast to the flat plains, being in a set of ranges.  The property is easy to access on a very well maintained gravel road, as you would expect there is plenty of red dirt but to our surprise there is gorgeous manicured grass, the most colorful flowers of all kinds and trees to provide shade and beautiful views.  All the sites are drive thru so we could stay hooked up as most people did, the sites are in a circular pattern with the toilets, playground and a camp fire area in the middle.  Campfire was at 5pm and we heard many still talking late into the night, what a great way to meet people.  They have all sorts of accomadation & offer alot of tours too, with building works going on at the moment to increase the size of the camp kitchen, but you wouldnt have known it as the noise was not even noticable.   The stars- I've used so many words like amazing & gorgeous & beautiful but i just cant explain the stars, there was so many, so bright, so beautiful, the kids were in a awe, so were we.  Another game before a very early bed, before 9pm in anticipation of the easter bunny coming in the morning. ( still no joy with photos will add them later xx)
