We slept at a service station In Mudrabilia last night since there were no campgrounds around.  Up on time in the morning to continue along the straightest stretch of road on the map. We had a nice tailwind ,which was great since most people had warned us about the petrol eating head winds on the Nullabor. Driving alond we did see a few more signs of life. We met a flock of Galahs , a wedge tailed eagle and 2 emus. We still only saw dead Kangaroos!

The Emus got us into trouble, as we quickly pulled of the road to geta good look we got a flat tire! It took major muscle power to change it !!

The changing of the tire!

But oo we went again. About 100 km out of Norseman the scenenry changed, I think we made it out of the desert. Arrived in little town of Norseman which is famous for a horse called Norseman, who apparently found the first gold nugget in this area resulting in this blooming gold mining town.

We continued on in the dark to Bromus Dam and set up camp.
