Lorne: Part 3

South Australia > Victoria
It was time to wish Kingston SE goodbye. We packed up our stuff, and headed back onto the B1. Hatti was keen to do a quick detour past the giant lobster that was Kingston’s ‘attraction’. It appears to a popular trend in some Australian towns and cities to adopt a thing, and procure a big version of it to put on display. Affectionately known as Australia’s big things.
Adelaide
We awoke in Boroota Bush Camping Park, as expected. Thankfully we hadn’t been relocated in our sleep… by aliens, a local removal service, or territorial ducks. After many a dream about Rodeo clowns, or Rodeo protection athletes (as is politically correct), we dusted ourselves off and clambered back into the Saab braced for a bumpy drive back to the main road. Buckaroo.
Across the Nullarbor: Part 2
Leaving Albany we were pretty sure that this was the last place to stock up on food, water and petrol until we reached the other side of the Nullabor… and in many ways were right. Esperance was a ghost town at the weekend, so fortunately we already had 30 litres of water, enough food to last a family of six several weeks… and a jerrycan in the back of the Saab!
