Packed & ready to go.

Last minute only packing left to do, most of which will be done tomorrow ready for our Sunday 8am start.  Just have to buy a few last minute supplies, like dog biscuits for Kurgan. Very important we have enough biscuits for Kurgan. Our first shops for stocking up on food etc will be Ceduna, in South Australia. The town we stop at in Western Australia is Norseman, but there is not much in the way of shops at Norseman. From Norseman, we start out on the Eyre HIghway . Wikipeadia says: “

The Western Australian section of the Eyre Highway lies entirely on the Nullarbor Plain. The Nullarbor gets its name from Latin for 'no trees'. The typical view is that of a straight highway and practically unchanging flat saltbush-covered terrain, although some parts are located on ridges. The population on this stretch was estimated at 86 as at the 2006 census and, apart from Eucla, no towns exist along the route.Roadhouses providing basic services such as petrol, food and bottled water are approximately 200 km (124 mi) to 300 km (186 mi) apart, but not all are open 24 hours. Because of its remoteness, some sections of the Highway serve as emergency airstrips for the Royal Flying Doctor Service. These airstrips are signposted and have runway "piano keys" painted on the road, and turnaround bays for small aircraft.

This section of the highway includes what is regarded as the longest straight stretch of road in Australia and one of the longest in the world, between Balladonia and Caiguna; the road stretches for 145.6 kilometres (90.5 mi) without turning. The section is signposted and commonly known as the "90 Mile Straight".
