I actually love the stretch of the 149 kilometers of the longest straight road in Australia.

It was my parents, uncle and aunt that build the (then) Amber motel at Eucla to take advantage of the bitumen finally bridging the continent. Spent many a school holiday crossing the nullabor to get to Eucla. It's quite an amazing spot.

As someone who has crossed many times the scenery is never the same. The interaction of the geology, humidity and flora distribution leads to this variation and deserves close attention.
