The Nullarbor Plain

Surprisingly, for an advance country like Australia the internet is not as easily accessible. Most of the places where we stayed charge for use of the internet, usually about $5 an hour. The hotels either don't have wifi or they charge for it. Our mobile wifi device doesn't always work.
 We started our journey through the Nullarbor Plain in Esperance. First, it was about a 2 hour drive north to Norseman. Then we started going east through the Plain. This is a vast, vast area of "nothing," the so-called Australian Outback. I was expecting to see desert but there were many areas where there were tall trees and areas with short bushes.  We passed through many small towns, most of them just a gas station and a motel.  We were told that it'd take us 2 days to drive through this area and yes, we did take 2 days of seeing very few cars and people.  Every few miles we'd see a swarm of black crows in the distance and we knew it would be a kangaroo carcass they were feeding on.
Eventually, we made it to the Western Australia/Southern Australia border.  A place appropriately called Border Village.  It has a few more motel rooms that the other small towns and even a decent restaurant and pub.  We paid A$200 for a small room with a bunk bed, a queen-bed and a twin-bed.  We didn't have a choice.  We were in the middle of nowhere.
In the morning, our next destination was Port Lincoln, a seaside tourist town at the tip of the Eyre Peninsula.  But first, we have to get out of the Outback and into civilization.  Once we got to a town called Ceduna, we starting heading south down the coast of the peninsula.
The speed limit on the Australian highway is 110 km/h.  Since we were driving through empty roads we were averaging about 140 km/h.  So the only exciting thing that happened on this journey is I got a speeding ticket.  I was clocked at 147 km/h by a young police officer.  He told me that there are a lot of accidents on these roads and they take speeding very seriously.  So he gave me a very hefty fine - A$592!  Ouch!   He said it should have been about $800 but is giving me a small break.  I have 30 days to pay this fine.  That pretty much dampened our spirits for the rest of the day.
We finally got into Port Lincoln about 7 pm and found a room at the Pier Hotel.
