	Nullarbor Plain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Nullarbor Plain is the vast area of flat, almost treeless, arid or semi-arid country immediately north of the Great Australian Bight.
		The Nullarbor Plain is thought to be a former seabed.
		The line was entirely rebuilt in 1969, as part of a project to standardise the previously disparate rail gauges in the various states, and the first crossing of the Nullarbor on the new line reached Perth on 27 February 1970.

		This is the reality of driving across the Nullabor Plain, that great expanse of largely uninhabited land that links Western Australia to the Southern and Eastern states.
		In fact, these mighty trucks are the bastions of the Nullabor Plain, dominating the highway and causing anything smaller to physically shudder as they pass.
		The Nullabor Roadhouse indicated the start of this almost eerie, treeless landscape and, as if to compound the sense of isolation that surrounded this featureless expanse, a time change of two hours gave the impression that we'd lost a hundred and twenty minutes of our lives - a feeling that was odd but somehow fitting.
