Crossing the Nullarbor. you can imagine how excited we were at the chance to drive 146 kilometers in a straight line.(Especially since Margeurite has a small wheel alignmewnt problem, she likes to turn to the left by herself) So after night fell and we stayed the night about 30kms into the journey, Elo started to tackle the road early the next day. We calculated that all up we had to travel about 2000km before the next big attraction. So after I fell asleep in the back, Elo drove the whole day to get us well past half way. What a woman. I wont talk too much about the fact that Elo drove the next day, and made it all the way to the end without any help from me. You might think i was being lazy???
La route la plus droite d'Australie, deja que c'etait pas marrant de conduire alors si en plus c'est tout droit... A fairly famous Australian sign post. I don't think however, I saw any of these animals on the road.
C'est le panneau le plus photographier d'Australie je pense. On a deja vu des kangourous et des chameaux, mais pas de Wombats (le dessin au milieu).
Donc apres ces trois jours on est arrive a Adelaide, tres sympa comme ville. Elle est completement entouree de parc et les batiments sont dans le style colonial. At the end of our desert tour we reached Adelaide. Once again however, we bothed enjoyed our stay there but didn't take any photos. Sorry Adelaide. There were some beautiul old colonial style buildings in the city.
Ensuite direction des grottes, "Naracoorte Caves" j'ai adore. Towards the SA-VIC border are the Naracoorte Caves. They were very impressive. Huge limestone caves formed by underground water, lakes that very slowly ate away at the stone. Because of the softness of the limestone, stalagmites and tites are from easily. There were postcard views everywhere, but quite difficult to photograph in the dark. In the caves, they have found fossils of giant kangaroos, wombats and many other creatures that are now extinct. A very interesting day.
