Nullarbor

Guía de viaje

Crossing the Nullarbor of South Australia was one of the most fascinating things we've ever done. Roughly 1700km of hot, desolate, near-nothingness, punctuated by the odd tree or dead 'roo. 

We camped on the side of the road when we could, until the wind sent our tent off like a tumbleweed one evening. Although I wouldn't call it the proper "outback", it was still an amazing experience.

My absolute favorite thing about traveling is the fantastic people you meet along the way :)

Meet Frank! Frank Rickus to be more precise (look him up on Facebook to follow his crazy adventures). We randomly met him (expect the unexpected at all times, people) while driving through the Nullarbor. His goal? Cycle through the whole of Australia & meet people along the way. This crazy German was on his final stretch before heading back home (after having cycled 18 000km)!

Back at home he is the mayor of a small town in Germany. And he is one of the coolest people we've ever met! So much happiness...that's what following your heart does to you. No matter how crazy it is...a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. :)

He has also cycled from China to Germany & from Columbia to Chile. You know...everyday stuff. LOL.

Frank has reached the Great Ocean Road as we speak. Buddy, you are amazing! All the best and keep pedaling!

Many believe the Nullarbor desert's name derives from an aboriginal word. In fact, it is a modification of the latin meaning  of 'no trees'. This could not be more appropriate! The stretch between Perth and Adelaide, & the Nullarbor in between, was...empty, straight and well...uneventful to say the least. We spent three days just driving, stopping for  lunch, dinner and sleeping. 

We had to fill up the car with petrol whenever we had a chance - as there are incredibly long roads where you have no possibility to fuel up. Still nowadays you have people getting lost in the outback as it can take days until you see another person - especially if you head north towards the Northern Territory. As a rule of thumb: don't leave the vehicle ever. Too many have attempted to do this just to disappear in the wild only to be found dead. 

Australia is known for deadly things in general actually...The most poisonous & dangerous animals are in your vicinity - spiders, snakes, jellyfish...you name it. But, so far we have encountered none and to be honest, some Australians we spoke to, have never seen a redback in their lives... So no need to worry. ;) it's not as a scary place as you might believe...

For now, let's get this stretch of uninhabited land behind us. It will feel weird to be back in civilization....

Ahhh the famous Australian roadsigns :) We've spotted Kangaroos & Wallabies, Wombats, Emus, Kookaburras and a hitchhiking Koala.

Yep. The big little fella was sat next to the road completely unfazed by the cars staring at us - he really looked as if he was about to ask us to stop to catch a ride. :) 

Lots & lots of driving ahead - the Nullarbor desert is a tough one. Looong roads that look the same for endless of hours. 

Have a lovely week-end everyone :)

I stayed for 5 nights. The location is good and convenient, which is definitely a plus. The apartment was reasonably well equipped, but overall the condition of the property did not match the photos online and felt overpriced for what it offers. The building is clearly quite old, and several maintenance ...
