Across the Nallarbor

After saying goodbye to Esperance and our friends we started the long trip over the Nallarbor Plain.

Nathan  was still was not feeling 100% but we need to make some tracks so that we can be in Adelaide for Christmas day.

After driving for a while a keep looking at Nathan and he was getting all of these angry looking spots over his head and body. I then took over the driving as he was starting to feel quite unwell and shaking with a temperature. I drove until dusk.  I don't like driving over 80 so the trip was going to take us a lot longer.

Stopped at a free camp on the side of the road because we couldn't make it to the next town.  During the night I thought I would have to get the flying doctor as his temperature was so high and I couldn't get it down.
After overdosing him with panadol he finally crashed and we all got some sleep.

We were lucky the next morning as there was a  nurse in Eucla that we saw and confirmed it was the chicken pox.  The lovely nurse gave us some more panadol and some cream for the spots.

We have crossed the border and it feels very sad leaving WA, we both just loved the beaches and the lifestyle and we are already talking about coming back.

I got the kids out a few times to have a look at the Bight which was amazing but I was still worried about Nathan and just wanted to get to Streaky bay so he could just lie down for a few days.

Made it over the Nallarbor. I'm quite proud of myself driving all that way with the caravan and all the huge road trains.
