It’s heavily overcast with a breeze that could almost be described as chilly. On the long drive along the Eyre Highway from Ceduna out onto the Nullarbor Plain to Norseman, here is what we learned:

1)  There’s not a lot of trees but there’s lots of vegetation

2) There’s plenty of fuel

3) Roadhouses are like time capsules from the 1970s

4) It’s true it’s not cheap but Roadhouses like it that way

5) About 50 per cent of drivers will do a lifted finger wave first. None of them are truck drivers.

6) There’s no mobile phone coverage - at least not with Telstra

7) The Great Australian Bight is right there. I know it's a "bight" and not a "bite" but it really does look like some giant creature took a chomp out of the land.

8) At the WA border, they check your car for contraband

9) People drive electric cars across and they charge them at roadhouses with batteries powered by cooking oil. It is ingenious.

10) Time has no meaning. The Nullarbor is like the land that time forgot. It’s either day or night, there is no time.
