Cocklebiddy to Ceduna

We awaken to rain and more rain ,yes in the middle of the Nullarbor the rain is coming down, we have a quick breakfast then hit the road to Ceduna . The road home is still about 2500 ks long and care still needs to be taken , after stopping at Eucla for fuel and a quick look around we March across the  SA boarder .We manage to stay ahead of the rain but it looks gloomy up ahead , after the Nullarbor roadhouse we arrive at the head of the Bight so we detour down to view the coastline and try to spot some whales, no luck with the whales and the coastline was rugged . Another side trip to Fowlers Bay then we continue to push eastward ,we arrive on the scene of an accident where a small camper van has tried to force its way past some native fauna . The 2 young people from Holland have tried to park a kangaroo on their dashboard, with the wind screen broken the 4 Man Aussie assault team get to work and make it safe to drive this bongo van to the next town to have repairs done . With still along way to Ceduna we loosen the reigns on the big Ford, the Big4 will be our stopover point tonight and we can't wait. Just on dark we arrive at the Big 4 and check in to our 3 bedroom cabin, now it is off to the pub for a counter tea .The rain has finally caught up with us again so we grab a cab home for an early night ,there will be no nightcap tonight ,with 1 more night on the road with these 3 wonderful travelling companions just let me say how lucky I have been to have these 3 blokes      make my dream come true let's hope this trip meant as much to them as it did to me .........WADDA
