Boulder WA
Writing this in the cozy comfort of the van. We pulled into Boulder, kind of a suburb of Kalgoorlie, following a great crossing of the Nullabor. The temp. Today climbed to 12o in between showers, a marked contrast to the balmy 19-20 of recent days.

Highlights of the Nullabor? The perpendicular cliffs of the Bight stand out. I am sorry that I have not yet worked out how to upload photos via iPhone, but I expect it will come in time. We had two very memorable bush camps. The first, west of Nullabor roadhouse where we met Alan and Anne from Townsville.They informed us they knew Cobargo well, having visited the 2011 folk festival. The second bush camp was near the end of the crossing and was memorable for a warm still evening and a great camp fire upon which the ladies cooked a sumptuous baked beef dinner in the camp oven followed by a batch of fresh scones in the morning.

We look forward to the weather clearing tomorrow so that we can take in Kalgoorlie before moving on Wednesday.
