Today we decided to stay in Ceduna for the day – a study day for Kim who was starting to feel vaguely hysterical about not doing enough study. As it turned out the weather was for the first time, really wet – pelting rain and howling wind all night, and then throughout the day squalls of rain coming across the bay. Kim spent most of the day in the van hard at work, whilst Rich toured Ceduna.
Anyway, the day was fairly quiet except for a late afternoon walk that went the way of most walks that involve Richard – cross country, and with a hint of adventure – this time the adventure involved trying to outrun a massive storm – ending up in a beachside shelter sheltering behind a puny umbrella and watching the storm sweep across the bay.
Quite a magnificent sight! Then of course we realised that we will be crossing a state border again tomorrow which means that we have to dump all our fresh fruit and veggies, and according to the current Mr Nosy Bossy, our honey too! We have doubts about that, but I was so irritated about ONCE AGAIN having to dump fresh fruit and veg that I took a tour of the caravan park and gave away all our stuff – I would rather give it away than throw it away! Grrrr!
Tomorrow is a big drive – we are going to try and do as much of the Nullabor as we can – so will drive for up to ten hours! Should be fun!!! (was Kim being a touch sarcastic there – time will tell, we will see after 10 hours driving).

You guys are soooo funny. I love reading these updates .... all the things that you say, i can just picture you saying, and all the things that you do I can just picture you doing. lol. Mrs Bray and I got the map out tonight and had a look at your progress. You guys have gone far already. And good luck with the Nullabor, it really is a massive stretch of nothing (well, on the map anyway) and I'm sure its worse in real life. I loved hearing about the locals too - both the nomads and the opinionated campers - sounds just like the boat ramp. Love you heaps
