WED 12.2.2014: Following yesterday's heat we woke with great apathy to the prospect of yet another two golf holes today! Nundroo Wombat Hole Par 5 520m was to be our first, but alas had to be cancelled due to an electrical storm and torrential rain. It has to be recorded that Sybil was prepared to play regardless of the elements, but Carole was a little reticent to venture forth with the iron given the lightening. Whilst we bemoaned missing out on playing the hole, both "athletes" welcomed the outcome. Drove out of the storm and to our final golf hole.
GOLF REPORT: DAY 7 - Penong Windmills Par 4 260m (Carole 4 - Sybil 4).
NULLARBOR GOLF OUTCOMES:
Carole 4 Sybil 4.
Dummy Spits: Carole 2 Sybil 1.
Golf Balls: Lost 0 Found 12.
Time spent searching for golf balls outweighed playing time.
Ball tracking skills have improved.
The course can be played only using a putter.
Competitive traits do not diminish with age, regardless of competency levels.
Confirmation that neither player will be taking up golf at a later date.
A must for people travelling the Nullarbor. Take your own clubs, balls, tees and if only playing holes NOT attached to golf courses, the Rifle Range and Fraser Station, the playing fee of $70.00 per person is not required.
Consumed the last of our rations for lunch and headed for the SA Border check. Next stop was Ceduna and the A1 Caravan Park - only $18.00 per night because "there is a trench at the back of the park." Found the trench and would have to say that the park's name was hardly reflective of its condition!
The name Ceduna is a corruption of the local Aboriginal word Chedoona and is said to mean a place to sit down and rest. Proclaimed in 1901, the town has played an important but minor role in Australia's overall development due to it being a fishing port and a railway hub.
