Thanks Terry, you put a lot of work into making your videos interesting. We crossed about 30 years ago, so it was good to see what has changed, nothing. Drive safely.
Thank you Terry, as you brought back the memory of the crossing the Nullarbor. As you state it is NOT boring. My wife and I travelled that road three times. Twice returning and once travelling to W.A. (wet always).
I saw Nullarbor and thought no that will be boring but your presentation was extremely interesting. Definitely a modern Leyland brother showing people the things that we would have never thought of
I remember travelling across the Nullabor as a child in the 70s with my family on a caravan trip. It is amazing how similar it all looks. Skylab didn't have a museum then I don't think, but I remember my parents were talking about it (we'd followed it in the news). Hats off to the young cyclist - that is a mammoth effort. Terry you are a highly enjoyable host to spend time with, and it also inspires me with my own trip planning.
My fiancée and I are travelling from Port Macquarie to Margaret River in May next year. Really appreciate your insight Terry and wish you many more great adventures. Those windmills are proper windmills by the way and the Aussie wave, as you mentioned is great. It's something that as a motorcyclist our lot do all the time (apart from scooters lol).
Hey Terry, firstly just want say that we really love your videos! So informative and a bit fun with super awesome scenery! Secondly, we are really looking forward to seeing what you get up to in WA! Keep up the awesome work you are a true Aussie icon!! 🎉⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙌👍😊
Loved this video Terry I’ve never been over there. Will do a road trip one day. I admired the courage of that young Japanese man. Hope he stays safe. Keep the videos coming. Very well done . Suzy
Hi Terry it's great following you on this journey. Interesting and informative. Mate it's not something I know I would do but thanks to you i'm getting to enjoy it regardless from the armchair. Keep it up mate and keep adding more and more along the weay Cheers Bro. P.S Safe travel to you
Enjoyable jaunt across the Nullarbor. Fun trivia factoid is that some of the Nullarbor roadhouses use their "own" Timezone "Central Western Standard Time" which is half way between Western and South Australia time
You missed quite a few 'hot spots' along the way, including the blow holes at Bunabie and Caiguna, Cactus beach (world famous for surfing and shark attacks) plus the world famous cave systems (bit of a deviation off the bitumen though). Whats little known, is that near Mundrabilla, one of the worlds largest ever recorded meteorites was found (now in the Adelaide museum). Plus during WW2, Italian POW's were stationed in numerous camps along the Nullarbor to maintain and improve the railway. There is also a large airport at Forrest which caters to military and emergency traffic between WA and SA. Much to see if you head back that way.
Thanks for the suggestions for next time. Some of the side tracks were pretty sketchy after 2 days of rain so I had to stick to the sealed road. I’ll check a few places on the way back.
@@LetsGo012 YES!...do not head off the bitumen when its wet out there. On 2 diff occasions we were bogged for 6 days altogether. 4x4 means nuthin out there.
Not exactly the largest windmill. The one at Hughenden it the exact same model, manufacturer and size, so equal largest or one of the largest. The majority of the Nullarbor is north of the highway. Old maps clearly marked the Nullarbor and Eyre Highway only crosses the tiny southern tip where it is signposted as the treeless plain. The rest is not the Nullabor. The old road (pre 1976) used to swing North at Nullarbor station and cross a much longer portion, rejoining the modern road near Eucla.

You're more detailed than most... I never heard of the quarantine part when crossing the Nallarbor....
That cyclist is awesome I hope he has a safe journey.

Welcome to WA!
Thank you 😀
Edmund Delisser first used the name 'Nullarbor Plain' in 1866.
He must have been blind as a bat -- since the Nullarbor Plain is full of trees.
it is treeless, only the nullabor is a part of the actual plain, keep traveling
Avoid Nundroo, no potable water and expensive fuel.
Today I learned Null-arbor means no trees! Of course, of course, they lied
Just heard Nullarbor isn't Aboriginal it's Spanish for barren earth
Nullarbour...no trees, thanks, I thought it was an aboriginal word..😅
have a shave.
