Over half way - woohoo

Breakfast on the Nullarbor
Trying to eat all our fruit before the quarantine station, we were thinking of starting a fruit stall with everything people have to throw out (Tim ate 14 pieces of fruit in 4min)
Well we drove through the night and have now done 2300km.  Swapping drivers every 2hrs meant that we didnt have to concentrate for too long but also meant sleep was in 1hr lots.  I think weve all had around 3hrs since yesterday.  Weve been keeping ourselves occupied by checking the weather on the Bass and trying to plan when we might get a window to go.  At this stage we might be able to head to refuge cove on Tuesday and possibly do our first crossing to Hogan on thursday.  One of our challenges has been to tell every service station about our trip, most people have been interested but 1 lady thought we are lazy because were only paddling 1 way.  Looking forward to finding a quiet campsite for tonight somewhere before Adelaide and hopefully get some sleep.

  1. Yeah, you're all a bunch of wusses. If you were dinkum, you'd paddle to Antartica and on to South America. Bass Strait… pfffff. Come paddle to Afghanistan if you want a real challenge. The last 1000km in particular...
