Getting to Adelaide:
From Perth across the Nullarbor Plains:
Crossing the Nullarbor is a mind blowing experience. The
vast distance between the two cities of Adelaide and Perth makes for one
of the world's greatest road journeys. Until 7 years ago travellers had
little choice but to cover the 2800 km between Adelaide and Perth (nearly
two thirds of the Australian continent!) by train, plane or express bus.
For too long travellers whizzed across this vast landscape, experiencing
a long and boring journey. Only a few knew what was out there, the secret
places that lay untouched and undiscovered !
DAY 1: Our adventure begins north from Adelaide. Depending on the weather
conditions we include a bush walk in the Southern Flinders Ranges. If
it's not too hot we bush camp next to an inland salt lake. Otherwise we
opt for more driving today so we can camp near the beach where we can
have a refreshing swim.
DAY 2: After a short drive we board the M.V. 'Investigator' for a 4-5
hr cruise (own cost at $80 inc. GST). It's a relaxing day viewing and
swimming with dolphins and Australian sea lions, fishing and a scrumptious
lunch on board. A short drive brings us to our overnight accommodation
on a local farm. More
