Mundrabilla - Day 6

Hi there, we are back again after being out of contact for a few days, such a different kind of quiet without phones, internet etc. This was Good Friday and we were travelling from Ceduna to Mundrabilla.  We stopped at the head of the Great Australian bite at the limestones cliffs that were 90 meters tall, it was breath taking and felt amazing to be there.  Of course there was gooses on the wrong side of the railing, taking photos and risking their lives! We went through the Eucla Pass which was also fantastic, photos we take do not do these places justice.  Petrol crept up to $1.95 at Border Village so to fill up was $154.03 ! We got further than expected, Dan is doing the drives really easy & after gaining another 2.5 hours once we were in Western Australia we had time up our sleeve to keep going.  The time difference is quite bizzare, you have South Australia time, Central time & West Australia time, which are all different. South Aust time is half hour back of Melbourne time, West Aus is 3hrs back of Melb and central was 45mins ahead of Perth & 45mins back from SA - you know we are not sure if that is how it is,  the lady at the quarantine check point tried to explain it but boy it was hard to understand, imagine working in that zone and living in another.  Dan said "I'm confused", she said "Huh your confused, we are confused !!" We saw a white dingo in the wild today, quite a thrill- but over in a moment, no time for a photo which was a shame. The quarantine inspection itself wasn't as scary as thought, yes they do check your fridges, cupboards, boots & back seats, even asking if we had any rubbish that may have been in contact with banned items, but she was a lovely lady who spent more time talking to Bentley & worrying about the wild dog baits that are down at the moment.  The baits are meant to be  20kms north of the border but the crows have built an immunity to them and are carrying them & dropping them in all sorts of places.  We made it through to Mundrabilla, which is just a roadside truck stop really, Mackenzies shocked "is this it!" said it all.  A roadhouse and lots of gravel with a toilet block.  It looked a bit like an old drive inn with the power poles sticking out of the ground to hook up to.  It was so clean & well looked after, great showers & toilets, which were locked & only for "caravan park residents" and all for $20 a night.  We had gorgeous ranges as a back drop which ran for 200kms.  There is so many stops like this across the nullabor and i would recommend a stop at 1 of them, for the experience, to support the hard working people there, the quiet & relaxed atmosphere and the $ savings (tonight we are paying $59 a night in a busy over populated caravan park?!)  We baked cookies tonight - we dont really rough it that bad hey- we thought it would be nice for the trip the next day.  Those choc chip cookies didnt stand a chance, they weren't even cooled and they were all gone.  Dan was in & out most the night to see the road trains pull into the roadhouse.  We played a game of uno and were all in bed by 9.  Photos are not loading at the moment so will add some more in the next few days xx
