Day 56 - Lake Douglas to Frazer Range Rest Area.

How can a day that starts so badly end up so amazing. Woke up to 2 degrees and the memory of a horrible night. Had forgotten the diuretic properties of coffee are not removed by decaffitation. Was up 6 times through the freezing night to pee. The first time I couldn't stop shivering and hardly slept all night. This morning I woke up with a sore throat and did not want to get out of bed. I eventually crawled out, got dressed and off we went into Kalgoorlie. We took a picture of Paddy Hannon's statue, he discovered gold here. 

Then we went to the lookout.

And then the super pit lookout.

I had some lunch and decided to get some sleep while Jeff drove back to Norseman the other way. We passed Shane Crawford and his bike ride but I didn't get a picture cause I was asleep.

Woke up feeling a little better when we got back to Norseman and turned onto the Eyre Highway to begin our Nullabor trek. Little did we know what an amazing start to it we would have! Up ahead of us we could see it was raining and soon we saw a rainbow. Always a beautiful sight. The we realised we could see the bottom of it on the highway in front of us. We could see the trucks going through it and the colours on the trees up ahead.

It got bigger and brighter as we chased it in Glen but we couldn't catch it.

It became a double rainbow and got really, really bright and then disappeared! Possibly we had driven through it and could no longer see it but whatever happened it was the most spectacular thing I have seen on our trip so far.

Got to Frazer Range Rest Area (WA 25), pulled right back off the road, took 2 Panadol and had a great night's sleep.
