Eyre Highway

The Eyre Highway is some 1,675 kilometres from one end to the other and it stretches across the plains as far as the eye can see, it was named after explorer Edward John Eyre, who was the first to cross the Nullarbor by land.. It also has the longest straight piece of highway in Australia also some places of interest but I don't think we are seeing the 4wd ones with the bus, maybe some closer to the road.
The Nullarbor gets its name from Latin for 'no trees', the local Mirning people referred to the area as "Oondiri" which is said to mean "the waterless"
No towns exist along the route, only Roadhouses with basic services such as petrol, food and bottled water, caravan park or camping spots and are a distance apart. Because of its remoteness, some sections of the Highway serve as emergency airstrips for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, you'll see sign posts and will actually drive over the runway, on the sides there usually are turn around bays for the aircraft. But you will come across lots of rest areas mostly 24 hour stops, just be aware that large trucks use these so keep well out of thier way, we usually park as far back as we can.
Well here we go.... a trip and a half :)
Wish us luck!!!!!
