40K Highway

[shakna]

A few years back, Australia decided to upgrade the Nullabor Highway to reduce the number of rescues for idiot tourists.
For the unfamiliar, the Nullabor is an almost dead-straight highway for 1200km or 745mi, with almost nothing along the way. You can go 200km (125mi) between fuel stations and 400km (250mi) between phone signal.

During the upgrades, huge swathes of the highway were nothing but dirt and gravel. The turbulence so bad that you couldn't hear the person beside you. Those sections, were often limited, with speed cameras, to 40km/hr (25mi/hr), to protect the workers... Who generally weren't around.

Backseat shenanigans, are clearly up for grabs.

backseat heck... bed of the pickup, sleeper in the transport, bed of the RV...

Sounds like it's better for a scene in a horror movie rather than an erotic story. Any UFO sightings along there?

There are far more remote places in Australia
There's a reason that Wolf Creek ain't just a horror film - it happened. Twice! (Milat and Murdoch).

There's an absolute buttload of UFO tales about the Nallarbor. It's right on the edge of where we conducted a ton of nuclear testing in the '50s, so all kinds of monitoring equipment, like the silver jellyfish weather balloons, have been seen around. It's also goes close to Pine Gap, where the US and Aus have a joint military base that is assumed to be developing new aircraft.

This is slightly off-topic, but one of the first UFO books I read was Flying Saucers: Serious Business by Frank Edwards. At age of twelve, I really got the creeps from it. I just saw that it's still in print and available on Amazon. The way I remember it Edwards (who died the year after publication) collected every UFO story he could find since the 19th Century and then disgorged them all into print. I don't think he did any serious analysis or research, however.

He must have had a flair for self-promotion because he appeared on the Johnny Carson show when it came out. Anyway, back to the OP. We have sirhugs' idea of the RV camper. What else is there - doing it outdoors? Is that even plausible?

Maybe some "working girls" set up a comfort station in the middle of a lonely stretch. "Last Pussy for 400 miles!"

They set up surveillance cameras twenty miles away in both directions so they can see if any law enforcement types are on their way.

They wouldn't need to set up any cameras on the lonely stretch. You're not likely to see anybody else whilst you're out there. And prostitution isn't illegal in Aus. Maybe a single transport truck might go by, but it isn't exactly busy, because of the risks.

So... Feel free to pull over and spend an hour in public on the edge of the desert. Ain't nobody to hear you screaming.
