Nullarbor & Cook
Nullarbor, Cook & The Bight Drove across the Nullarbor and bumped into some Sherwood people, Katie and Kieran Moss! It’s a small world. Some seriously wide loads on this stretch. Went to a deserted ghost town called Cook which is 100kms of dirt track away from the highway. Why? Because Simon loves trains and this […]
