Border Village to Norseman (Day 4)

The days are certainly not getting shorter in the car yet (soon...).  Today we packed up and travelled into WA.  Yay!  But first we had to travel through the quarantine station on the border.  We had pretty much eaten all our fruit and vegies the night before so all I had to hand over was a sealed bag of spinach which I wasn't sure whether we could keep or not.

 Many years ago, when I travelled across the Nullarbor, I stayed at Cocklebiddy.  This was just a little far for us to reach for the night before, but we did stop here for lunch.  Of course, Biddy thought it was great that a town had her name in it.  Bella was adamant that there was a town called "Cocklebella".
Not only is this the longest straight stretch in Australia, but I think, the world.  At least the Southern Hemisphere.

Total kms travelled today: 724
Total kms travelled so far: 2,699
