After 3 very long days of endless driving, we arrived to Port Augusta.
we passed almost 2000 km from Esperance to here, while in the middle we crossed the border to South Australia and had to shift our time 1.5 hour ahead (so now, it's 8.5 hours different from Israel).
The ride looked endless, we started the car early in the morning and shut it off at sunset time. the desert view outside the car windows looked lonely, it is just a great plain of nothing, once every 45 minutes you get to see another vehicle passing by the opposite way, usually it is a road train (huge trucks, which can carry up to 5 coaches), once in a while we got to see kangaroos, most of them were already dead beside the road.
Efrat took the chance and drove the first time in her life on the left side of the road with manual gear, well, it was not that easy for her but eventually she did it (like she had other choice ?).
Once every 200 km we stopped for a break in the patrol stations along the way, the fuel can get 150% more expansive out here.
As mentioned, we happily arrived to Port Augusta.
