Thank you for the Australian video re. Across our Border from East to West etc. I didn’t know how to put comments onto KZfaq. I used to be young once. Good on ya you Tube. Nifty.

I am a few years late with this comment. The old Nullarbor roadhouse was relocted to its new position next to the new roadhouse at some time between 1992 and 2015 I think. It is the original and not a recreation. In 1974 I travelled the old Nullarbor in my dad's Valiant Charger and we spent a few hours in the garage section of that building while the radiator was repaired. The road was pretty wet from rain on our trip and it was not possible to see all the pot holes. We went through one big hole and the radiator cracked which we noticed when we stopped for fuel. I remember the garage and the shop very well. The old road in those days was like a drain for the surrounding area after many years of grading so in many areas it was below the surrounding ground level and was more like a river in heavy rain. I have done that trip several times from Perth to Adelaide when it was unsealed. I did visit Koonalda in 2015 when I last went across to Perth (I live in Melbourne now) and I agree it is worth the diversion. I might actually drive the old road one day. I see you did one section some years ago. I attempted to get down to the Eyre Bird observatory on that same trip but relaised it was more than a short diversion and ran out of time so never got beyond the microwave tower. Intersting that in 1992 when we drove back to Perth the Eucla telegraph station was mainly uncovered (and back in 1974 I remember we drove around it) and we walked down to the beach as well and saw the remians of the jetty. The sandhills seemed to have encroached into the whole area now. Enjoying your videos so many thanks for making these.

Thanks Laurie, enjoyed watching your informative video.👌👍😁

Laurie another great entertaining video thank you for sharing

Thank you, specially for the maps at every intersection. Those maps are very usefull. 👍

Well done guys beautiful presentation.

Thanks for the video. I "worked" on the installation of the second microwave link from Port Pirie to Eucla under the towers 1971-74 for the PMG .....Wonderful country with great mates. Thanks again

😄😄😄Good to keep going for a toilet. Awesome!!..and Petrol! WoooW!! must have showers as well. Good..

Great collection of videos ,throughly enjoyed it ,

Just discovered this video. I have crossed many times but always for work. I’m gonna have to pack up my ambo and have a look. I remember coming back from Leigh Creek and approaching the big roundabout in Ceduna, the linkages in my 3 on the three HJ Panel van jammed. That was fun at about 5.30am sorting that shit out. Made it to Caiguna that night as was allowed to park down the back for a good nights sleep.

Thankyou Laurie I love your adventures So good😍

Thank you Laurie very informative 🙏 enjoyed it 🤙

So much to see, so little time.

I have done the Nullarbor three times, but your video is fascinating. Thank you.

Love these vids and they a wonderful reference to a trip im planning. So glad to have stumbled onto your channel.

Great video, lots of information, glad that I stumbled into your channel. Fingers crossed I get to do the crossing next year in the same direction.

Great content 👍 ,

Thoroughly enjoyed your “story”. Normally do the trip Perth to Melbourne or Sydney in 4 or 5 days but next time I will have the time to see more of the sights. Thanks for the insights to what is there just off to the side of the road.

hi laurie just a couple of points you might like to look at in 1968 i crossed for vic balledonia i entered in a driveway and went up to ahouse like area to fuelup not a servo what is now caiguna was then called john eyre nullabor station was of to the right on the old highway a fair distance to the new one i also crossed in 1970 while they were doing up the s.a. side

Thanks for the tour, one thing I noticed was, the size of the trailers compared to the tow vehicles, here in USA most people use a larger tow vehicle to pull what you are towing. What does your trailer weigh.

Came here hoping to see you had visited Forrest? Lived there for two yrs when I was a little kid.

Very much enjoyed the video. I've always wanted to camp out at Cook. I went on the Indian Pacific this year but only stopped at Cook for 20 minutes. Can you camp out there?

Any ideas why cost is higher with stops in that area ? lol

Also there were quite a few installations like the Ivy Tanks along the old road to provide water for travellers in the summer months. I gues Ivy Tanks might be the only one remaining. My dad drove the Nullarbor in 1953 for his honeymoon and used a very basic tent so I think he had a love for the trip which might be why we did it so many times as a family. At Yalata the indigenous people my Dad told me would sit on the road to stop the traffic so they could sell artefacts to travellers. I never saw this when we did any of our trips.

I am surprised that that first station uses diesel engines, and not solar and wind to generate power.

I was told that most of the road houses are owned by one owner hence the fuel price!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks goodness you are not my driver.
