You see all sorts of vehicles on the Eyre Highway. There are no shortage of semis - most configured as Road Trains with an extra one or two trailers (total of 3). The road is wide, straight and sealed well enough to make passing a non-event. Because of our 5th wheel hitch we are virtually a semi trailer as well and there is no sway when the big trucks pass. This is very different to a conventional caravan which can be seriously buffeted and have induced sway.
There are of course lots of caravans on the road - not many 5th wheelers although the numbers are growing. Smaller trucks and private vehicles are also common. Less common are motorbikes and the occasional cyclist. One year we saw a walker pulling his own trolley and in 2006 we saw a chap with a camel drawn buggy.
The picture was actually taken yesterday and its occupants looked like they were enjoying their trip.
We are over-nighting in Ceduna and head for Port Augusta tomorrow. We have left the desert behind and are in agicultural and pastoral country much like the Great Southern of WA.
