Connie Sue Highway Western Australia - South thru Premier Downs to Rawlinna

From my journal 15th July, 2009

Well a day of firsts in that I have completed the last of the Beadell Tracks, the Connie Sue as well as crossing the continent north to south (albeit on a bit of an angle) and also crossing the Nullarbor north to south as well. In reality it was a day of grinding, slow travel across rock strewn tracks and through puddles of muddy water.
We got away from our dew sodden camp site in good time. The rain had held off during the night which was s good thing Our chosen campsite was indeed fortuitous as in only a few short kilometres, the spindly acacia disappeared as we entered the limestone strewn plains. Old man saltbush and blue bush became the norm as did mobs of fat sheep and cattle and long puddles of water becoming more frequent on the track as we travelled south. The path south was littered with large areas of exposed limestone making for really slow travel, as we negotiated the rock strewn track.

It wasnt long before we came across the forlorn remains of the Premier Downs station which stood out starkly on the eastern skyline.......
