Augie's quest on this trip is to complete the Nullarbor Links Golf Course. Established in 2009, the Nullarbor Links is the World’s Longest Golf Course. Its 18 holes stretch 1,365 km from Kalgoorlie to Ceduna.

According to a booklet a kindly roadhouse owner gave us along the way, a group of dedicated Eyre Highway business operators set up the Nullarbor Links Golf Course to encourage more people to explore the area. It certainly gives you something to do along the way.

It’s a Par 78 course and this seems extraordinarily optimistic when you’re out in strong headwinds struggling to even see the hole over 500 m away. But the record is 70 (held by a professional golfer) so some people can do it.

Augie whacks away at the ball at every hole. Sometimes he even makes a hole in less than 10. But although it adds a few hours to the journey across the Nullarbor, we all enjoy the break and the exercise.

The weather has not improved since last time. It's a very cool 22 degrees, not the stinking hot 40-45 degrees it's supposed to be. It's good for travellers but very very weird.
