The first time I crossed the Nullarbor was about 1974 on a Centralian Tour. We camped over night, sleeping under the stars and I like you Bert couldn't begin to describe it either.
I just remember it being a very humbling experience.

To begin to describe how I felt was and is beyond any words.

I had no one to tell me what was going on. My just new second wife thought I had lost my marbles.

When I got home I asked my father. He said 'you too hey?'
