Norseman - Fowlers Bay

We refueled with diesel and adblue at Norseman in the morning and headed East along the Eyre Highway, we’ve lost count of the number of times we have driven East & West or lapped around but we always enjoy being on the road. We stopped at Baxter for the night, the wind was gusting the whole drive and it was good to stop. We were greeted by some friendly magpies and they were lucky to get a feed from Vickie. Not many other vans for the night, around 5 or 6.

Jilah Rockhole near Mundrabilla was our next night stop, this is a large area with tracks going off in many directions, we drove far enough in to be away from the Highway noise though to be fair the Highway quietens down later in the evening. The Wind drops down also but picks up again in the mornings.

We are not in a hurry but still averaging around 400k a day, with the usual coffee stop and lunch break we have been camped up by 1.30pm. Kidnippy Rest Stop was our next night stop, we had booked to go into Fowlers Bay for two nights and Kidnippy was not to far away for an easy drive into Fowlers Bay after refueling at Nundroo Roadhouse. Diesel prices have been $2.40 the highest and $1.99 the lowest on the trip so far.

This latest post finds us camped up at Fowlers Bay, I’m glad we booked because the park has already filled up. We have a nice easy to get into site and we plan on doing some squid fishing off the jetty this afternoon. 🙏
