Last night we set up behind the information centre in Norseman. We had been planning on setting up in a bush camp, but didn't find one we liked....this one was in the budget camps book, so we headed for it. When we arrived, almost on dark, there was a sign that said NO CAMPING. We went to the pub down the road for a drink, and asked the barmaid about the spot. She just happened to live next door to the site, and said people camped there all the time, and there wouldn't be a problem. So we set up., Luckily we did, because it rained during the night...it could have been a bit messy in the bush!
These camels are on the roundabout on the main street of Norseman. We saw a lots of signs saying to be aware of camels on the road....these were the only ones we saw!
Norseman is the beginning of the Nullabor, so we expected a big change in vegetation...
or lack of it...however, it was pretty much woodland for much of the way...
similar to going from Kalgoorlie to Norseman.
Tonight we camped at a roadside camp stop. It was pretty dusty, but a rather nice spot. When you drove off the road, there were lots of tracks going into the bush, and you just set up where you liked. By nightfall ther were quite a lot of vans pulled up in there.
We met a couple of blokes from England who are cycling from Perth to Sydney, and another couple who come from Tabulam, just near Grafton.
