We woke and got organised for a long day . As you cross the Nullarbor , you gain one and a half hours as you cross into WA at Border Village . The scene out the front windscreen is large , flat ground disappearing into the distance , everywhere you look .
We refilled at Nundroo , last fuel stop before the Nullarbor and a lot cheaper than the roadhouse . We did stop at the roadhouse , but that was for lunch . We got onto the eastern end of the plain and just kept driving , a lot of the free camps along the way have been closed to prevent people getting to the Bunda Cliffs . They've even removed the lookout signs - there are 3 of them .
We stopped at the 2nd & 3rd lookouts , this is the 2nd .
And here's the 3rd , it's at the western end of the Bunda Cliffs , and not far from the border .
We breezed through quarantine and headed to Eucla for another top up in fuel . Fellow travellers were communicating fuel prices along the way . Mundrabilla roadhouse was the next one along and fuel was 30 cents a litre cheaper there !! $3.38 at Eucla , $3.08 at Mundrabilla . Shame it was only 70 kms away , but we stopped anyway and topped up again . We gained another 45mins as we travelled , wind was still blowing behind us , so we just kept going , taking advantage of great driving conditions . We finally pulled into a free camp we've stayed in before - Boolaboola - making our way down the back a few hundred metres from the highway . Surprisingly , there were still plenty of cars/ caravans going both directions . Sunset wasn't too bad and we had it to ourselves till a small zippy van arrived at about 10pm .
