Day 214

Day 214

This morning we’ll reach the next gas station, but first we have to arrive to the main road (and the nothingness)!

Here we are! The Nullarbor Roadhouse!

The sign we find on the toilet’s door… Do you remember the snake we saw few days ago? we were right to be cautious!

Here we present you the Road trains! They are banned on most roads in the more populated southern and eastern states. Understandable. Those monster trucks don’t mix very well with normal traffic. A proper “Road Train” has two or three normal trailers, connected by converter dollies. That combination is between 36.5 and 50 metres long!!!

Today I’m so bored that I even start counting corpses… it’s frightening and insane! just during the morning I count 200!!! 100 were for sure kangaroos, and the other 100 were probably kangaroos. Another reason to be happy to be with the car and not the motorbike! If one of those hits you on a bike at 100km/h you are done. And better we don’t talk about the smell…

I will not lie to you, we are a bit tired of seeing the same during so many kilometers. It’s a bit challenging for Tià to keep focused, and there are kangaroos everywhere. They just jump in front of the car at anytime without warning! We are happy because tomorrow we’ll be out of here.

Our camp spot for tonight is not as nice as yesterday’s… it’s just an esplanade in the middle of nowhere.
