Then it was off for that long awaited drive across the Nullarbor. I was eager to get going. If you are a mad keen Golfer you can play all the way across. The first tee is at Kalgoorlie and the l8th hole is 1365 kilometres away in Ceduna. Continue reading “Nullarbor”

It is a long story with guns and bombing and sniper-style killing. We had one drink to say we have been there done that and didn’t complain as we left.
