Across the Nullabor

Half way through the Nullabor for 3 months working in Madura, we finally get to move on~~ Much appreciation to Madura Roadhouse for the 3 months we were there, so much happened and experienced, good times mostly =) It felt good to earn enough money and travel again. This time, we won’t need to think too much about the costly exchange rate from MYR to AUD anymore!

Border Village – Border of South Australia and Western Australia

The travelling across Nullabor is very expensive, because transportation of goods is very limited. Petrol is so deary, $2.00 per litre when we leave Madura around end January 2012. Travelers often comment that Madura roadhouse and Nullabor roadhouse are the most expensive ones! We stayed the first night at Nullabor roadhouse, unpowered site for 2 ppl $20. Shower costs $1.00 for 5 minutes. . . sweat~~ No camp kitchen.

Bunda Cliffs

Along the road from Border Village to Nullabor roadhse, there are several lookout points for Bunda Cliffs*****. There are cracks on the cliff so we have to be careful and not go out of the pathway.
