Across the middle

From Ceduna to Norseman, and onto Brookton here are some photos of our travels. Today we sit and relax, wash (Macchi, the car included) and fold, and generally unwind in readiness for the next leg of our journey. We are very fortunate to be able to stay at Madison Square (our old house) in Brookton for as long as we need. It has been lovely, and beautiful, the fields of brown have been transformed into green (more on that later). 


A double rainbow, the middle day was the longest and the wettest, but made for interesting driving. 



Nundroo Roadhouse, we did not stop here, except to take this photo as frankly the place scares me just a little...Just for you Jem!




A gigantic road train, which took up the whole road. 




Fuelling up in the middle of know where, quite literally!




We had a sneaky 60L drum in the trailer, we gave up on this method of transferring later on and just attached the hose directly to the car. Great way to save fuel costs at the WA/SA boarder. 




Beautiful storms building on the horizon.




Delirium.



Fuelling up!



So much endless road, so uniquely Australian.




B and a friendly (vicious) magpie have a moment over refuelling.




Breakfast in Norseman.




Thick fog leaving Norseman - quite spectacular. The day turned out to be perfect with crystal blue skies.




More road....




Green fields of the wheatbelt, they have had almost no rain, but the wheat struggles through and transforms this barren land.





The view from our friends house (where we crashed for our first night in Brookton) Winter here is quite mild, with beautiful clear days.



That's all for now, tomorrow we begin our journey through the red dust of central WA to our final destination, but for now, I am signing off to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic games.
