October 25th, Sea Lions, but no sharks.

We decided to stay another day in the area, so we could soak up a bit of civilization before we hit the long and treacherous Nullarbor Plain. I guess it's a right of passage to cross it and we're doing it twice! Seriously, they give away certificates at the end. No joke.

We drove down to Point LaBatt where a massive sea lion colony is and sat with the sea lions for a few hours. They are the funniest animals. We were cracking up all day. It was quite the trip back to the conservation park, all dirt roads in the middle of nowhere....back to Australia being really desolate. It was well worth it though.

After we left, we decided to drive up to Ceduna, which is the official start to the Nullarbor. We are staying in the nicest caravan park yet. They have a private beach with access for guests only. It's called Shelly Beach, incase anyone is following on a map or something.

There are so many flies here! It's gross. I feel like I am really dirty all the time. You sort of just get used to the flies in your eyes and all over your face. Yeah, gross, I know.

Tonight we chill out and then tomorrow we start the real adventure! I will be out of commission for the next 3 days at least, so I will be in contact again mid-week.

Have a good one everyone! Thanks for reading...

love.
