On the third day of our journey across the Nullarbor Plain, we crossed the border into Western Australia, stopping in Eucla and conquering the ’90 Mile Straight’ (Australia’s longest straight road) before continuing to Norseman.

Visiting the remains of the old Telegraph Station hidden in the dunes near Eucla, which operated between 1877 and 1927
Stopping for a rest before tackling Australia’s longest straight stretch of road, and one of the longest in the world!

We spent a couple of days in the historical city of Sukhothai.  Hired bikes and cycled around the world heritage listed park exploring the ancient temple remains.

A little seaside getaway to St Andrews in June 2013.  We stopped off at a couple of other popular tourist spots on the way home.
