D..
Day 11. The past couple of days have seen us not travel very far, a very long trip of 14km's today lol. After leaving Kooma View Farmhouse SA. we travelled up the road a little to Kyncutta to check out their famous Jelly Slice and I have to report it was YUM, there is a very large area out the back of the general store, so we decided to have a rest day and sit in the bush setting and enjoy an R&R day, but it was NOT to be the bl...dy March Flys found us again. We did however have a visit from the friends we visited in Wallroo SA so that was nice. Today was our long trip(14km) and we are camped at the showgrounds at Wudinna SA, they are just starting this camp up, signage going up on Monday, $10 unpowered and $15 powered, a dump point will be installed, and toilets available, hope it is a success for them. We unhooked here and did the loop of approx 25km and climbed a few rather large rocks, but once again our day was spoiled by those March flys, someone should tell them it is April lol. Just a few photos around Wudinna SA, Polda Rock, Mt Wudinna, and Pygery Rocks, all rocks had walls build around them to collect water, very interesting. No photos yet still trying to work it Bruce

Ros if you just send the photo to your own email address it should ask you if you'd like to reduce it's size. Once you get it back you can save the picture from the email to your "pictures" folder & then put it on the forum from there.
To start the process go you your BIG photo, right click on it & select "send to", select "email recipient", enter your email address & etc etc

Ros,
Make sure to visit Pildappa Rock while you're in the region.
(SA's own mini-'Wave Rock')
There's a free campsite at the base of the rock.

Some internet at last Yay...We are now up to Day 26. and at present we are in Esperance ( WA) for a couple of days to do the usual catch up with the household chores etc. After leaving Ceduna (SA) we travelled down to Fowlers Bay(SA) for a couple of days, Boss was lucky enough to catch a very nice fish, his first for the trip. From Fowlers we meet up with friends who had been chasing us for a few days and had a great couple of days in the bush past Yatala, enjoyed good campany, a campfire and a camp oven dinner and a few wines as you do. It was then time to get serious about the Nullarbor crossing, we took our time and checked out a few things that we have missed on other crossings. We had an interesting night on the cliffs just short of Boarder Village when a huge storm blew in, the van did a lot of rocking and rolling that night. The next day we watch another huge storm pass us by, we had a little rain and lots of side winds, not good for the fuel gauge.. We had a couple of other overnight stops, so many great camps to pick from and plenty that you can get well off the road. Our last one was Newman Rock, beside a manmade dam. Our last night before Esperance was just 30kms from Esperance at the Gibson Soak Hotel free camped in their paddock, must be fully self contained but they did not seem to inforce this very much. Had a cooks night off there the meals are expensive but huge. Still have not worked out how to resize the photos will keep working on it when I have a day to myself
