Balladonia is 191 kms east of Norseman. Balladonia has a population of about 9 people & that depends on whether you're coming or going !!!!
Welcome to Balladonia
The highway just goes on & on
Road trains carrying a very wide load
Skylab museum
Afghan cameleer were the backbone of the outback, taking stores to all the remote stations & far flung telegraph stations
Redex car from 1960's who did trials in outback to see how cars could handle all types of conditions
Part of the USA Skylab station that crashed in 1979. At the time the local Shire council presented the NASA with a littering fine & President Jimmy Carter phoned the roadhouse to make his apologies.
This is the hard way to cross the Nullarbor. Must say his friend didn't look to well when he went into roadhouse & owner gave him a cool drink & told him to go out the back & sit in the shade, as it was a very hot day
