Onto the Nullabor proper and all the way to WA, destination Cocklebiddy Cave for the night. The inspectors at the state border lighter load by taking our honey and anything with seeds or leaves and made us cut the tops and bottoms off our carrots (so they couldn't germinate/grow). On the way, we went bush and took a track to the southern edge of Australia for lunch. On the way back to the Eyre Hwy, we nearly drove into a sink hole with a cave at its base. We climbed down and explored for a while. This made us a bit late but for Finlay, setting up in the dark was all OK when the lamb chops hit the plate- "best chops I've EVER had".
Early start, geared up for caving and headed down below ground. We came to the underground lake, had a brief, cool swim and found lots of fossils that showed the sea floor origin of the Nullabor. Pushed on then to Kalgoorlie.
