Wind Explorer, a lightweight vehicle powered by wind generated electricity and a large kite, has successfully crossed Australia.

The 5000-kilometer coast to coast journey started in Albany, Western Australia in late January and ended in Sydney on February 12, marking the first time a vehicle powered solely by a combination of wind energy and electricity has crossed an entire continent.

If that is the Nularbuor I should reckon that the Kite Controller would have to be very astute avoiding those trucks that get out in that country but what a Foot Note in your Brag Book that would be.
