What time is it?

NORSEMAN, Western Australia, the second richest gold mining town in WA.
What a confusing 24 hours; yesterday we crossed the border into Western Australia, the time changed, overnight daylight saving finished somewhere, drove 64kms down the road this morning and the clocks went back 45 minutes, so had no real idea of the time until we got here as no radio or phone reception, very weird.
Subsequently we were in bed early last night, up early this morning, sure we beat the sparrows then were ready to take off as soon as it was light enough. The trip has been really good and not too many trucks with it being Easter.
ONE OF THE MANY DIFFERENT SIGNS ACROSS THE NULLARBOR yesterday when we left the roadhouse we spotted, two dingos a kangaroo and a rabbit, after that no wildlife.
BUNDA CLIFFS between Nullarbor and the SA/WA border where you go through a quarantine check, should have a swapping system where you leave your vegies on the South Australian side and pick up the same on the Western Australian side. From the border to here at Norseman is 713 km's and there is no where that you can restock.
SOUTHERN OCEAN just before you cross the border into Western Australia.
BOREDOM? A tree covered with a variety of footwear, other trees had underwear, numerous bits of clothing and hats.
THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY! Crossing the Nullarbor we saw these two guys pushing trolleys, four cyclists and one guy pushing a golf buggy, he was obviously playing the different holes along the way.
