This was the first one.
and the second one
I expected it to have less vegetation but it was like this all the way.
We pulled up at the quarantine place near Border Village and finished up the rock melon, binned a couple of tomatoes and half a cucumber. Warren had heard that the inspection could take up to two hours, either it has changed or we got a good lady. She checked the fridge in the car and had a quick look in the back, I had opened the pantry so she looked in there and the van fridge and freezer and then asked where we kept the potatoes and onions. Damn, I had forgotten the potatoes so handed over about four small ones. She told me that if i'd had cooked them, it would have been alright. Probably took five to six minutes all up.
Made it!
Fuel can be an issue and Warren had been noting down the best places to fuel up but I think South Australia has been experiencing good prices for the month that we were there. Streaky Bay was $1.02, then we filled at Nundaroo for $1.14, Nullabor was $1.50, gave that a wide berth, didnt need fuel anyway. Border Village was apparently expensive ($1.16) but we had been advised to fuel up at Eucla just thirteen kms inside WA but at $1.43 we moved on to the next place where it was the same price, had to bite the bullet and buy fuel. Stopped the night at Cocklebiddy, $25 for the caravan park but fuel was $1.52 for diesel and $1.62 for unleaded. Expecting to pay higher prices from now on.
