After seeing the Old Telegraph Station we headed west. The beautiful clear sky didn't last and within an hour we had driven into cloud and rain. We passed through a refuelling stop and roadhouse called Caiguna which claims to be the hub of the Universe. If the Universe does indeed revolve around this "hub" then I have pity on us all. We managed to find a break in the rain for a roadside lunch stop. After lunch the rain really arrived and the Nullarbor quickly become puddled and passing oncoming roadtrains gave the car a solid drenching and the windscreen a complete whiteout. Late in the afternoon the wind and rain drove us to take refuge about 100km east of a town called Norseman at an old sheep station called Fraser Range Station. The station has been converted into accommodation for travellers and work crews (mainly mining/drilling) working nearby. The five of us spent the night squeezed in a double room in the old shearing shed that had been converted into accommodation.
