Days 5 & 6 Friday & Saturday 24 & 25 July 2026

Apologies one and all but I am still experiencing difficulties with obsolete technology, obsolete operator and dodgy hotel wifi.

This is just to let you know that I have arrived safe and sound in Ceduna.   I am concerned cause I know how eagerly you look forward to my blog updates and I know how disappointed you are when I don't provide regular updates.

Tomorrow I am travelling to the Nullabor road House and staying there that night.  I understand that there will be nothing else to do there than sort out my technical issues.

So look forward to something more substantial tomorrow which will include a full description of the "Battle of Broken Hill" the only land battle fought in Australia in the TGW.  Got you on the edge of your seats now!

This will be both interesting and educational!

  Go West Young Man Introduction I have decided to follow Horace Greeley's 1865 advice and "Go West Young Man".  Some of the less classically educated of you may have to look up the origins of the quote.  As some of you may be aware I have decided take an extended road trip to parts of the great state of Western Australia.  I have not been to WA before and I am thinking that it will be a bit of an adventure. I don't intend to post to the blog everyday so if there are some gaps in the communication do not panic, I probably haven't been kidnapped by itinerant opal miners or fallen down a mine shaft and then kidnapped by itinerant opal miners. Depending on the vagaries of the blog site and hotel WiFi I intend to post some interesting photos on this site and as usual there will be no & I emphasize no food photos and requests for food photos will be treated with the contempt they deserve. I also look forward to your comments on my witty and informative commentary a...

  Day 9 Tuesday 28 July 2026 436km today from Cocklebiddy to Norseman with a stop at Balladonia.  Balladonia's claim to fame is that sometime in the 1970s the US Skylab plunged back to earth in the Balladonia area.  The roadhouse there has a piece of the Skylab in its museum either kindly donated to them by NASA or stolen by the locals when NASA wasn't looking.  I am staying at the Balladonia roadhouse on the return journey so I will expand a little on this on the return journey. I am currently typing this in the motel/hotel/caravan park dining room and the table next to me is occupied by approximately 10 middle aged ladies or more likely elder ladies who appear to be on some sort of road trip and at 5.40pm are already getting rowdy.  They even have pink trip caps. The road trip today included a drive along longest piece of straight road in at least Australia.  The straight is 91 miles in the old language and 146.6km in the new.  Even then it is only a...
