Easy drive today, ony 720 klm's. All accommodation booked out at Eucla. The Eyre highway was very busy by its standards, with a lot of motorcyles (50% with trailers) and Trikes heading west to the Ulysses AGM in Albany. We were lucky to get a room at Border Village, as people realise the accommodation is limited right along the Nullabor.
