| Not the easiest of terrain, but good form! |
The Nullabor links is the World’s longest golf course – 18 holes par 72
course which spans 1365km along the Eyre highway. We decided against the full
course but thought we should give one a try so went with the par 5 Wombat hole
commemorating the nearby, largest colony of southern hairy nosed wombat (no
sightings unfortunately). After the pretend hole the day before, first thing in
the morning it was straight on to this golf ‘course’. You have to use the term loosely – the rough was rock hard soil, scattered
with some actual rocks, and the fairway wasn’t that much better. Our golf
practise was slightly rusty, and after 2 feared lost balls we finally managed
to get on the green and hole out. Mulligans for us both – enough said.

Any way you look at it,
it's a long way to go! |

Nothing more to hang around for at Nundaroo, so it was back on the road and
on to the Nullarbor proper.

| Rooey + 1 |
After checking out the Head of the Great Australian
Bight, where we were too early for whale watching season but enjoyed the Bunta
Cliffs. Enjoyed saying the word ‘Bunta’ even more - go on, try it! Got through
the quarantine check at the border after a spot of time in Rooey’s pouch, and
we’d made it to WA! Not many other highlights in the day – after Annaliza
cooked up another storm we headed to the roadhouse for a drink and spot of
pool, plus get the latest update on Strictly…

Funny, some of the things you see
in roadtrains... |
Key Learnings:
1. Our golf needs work…
2. Bunta is a great word to say aloud!
