Road trip - Yamba NSW to Eaton WA

Jack and I are now in Eaton, Western Australia. That's a bloody long way from Yamba, We're here staying with my family and working, well Jack's working, I'm still looking at the moment. We arrived nearly three weeks ago after a long, tiring and boring five day drive from Yamba. In case you're wondering, and even if you're not. Yamba is on the very east coast of Australia and Eaton is on the very west coast with a 4,408km distance between them. Yes that's a long way. I'll be honest it was the most boring drive of both our lives and we do not ever want to do it again, although we'll have to. Jack was very fed up and tired understandably as he does all the driving so he had a very long rest before getting back to work.

So instead of boring you with a very interesting post about barren land, no cars and few petrol stations I thought I'd make this a mainly picture post but before that a quick break down of our five days just to give you an idea of the vastness of it all.

Day 1 - Yamba NSW - Gunnedah NSW : 503 km, 6 hours driving
