AUSTRALIA | Tuesday, 26 Aug 2008 | Views [789]

Day 2 - Making a Game Plan

AUSTRALIA | Thursday, 21 Aug 2008 | Views [846]

I woke up feeling hungry this morning, which may have been because my last meal was at a gas station in Winton, a small town on the drive between Longreach and Hughenden. Wasting no time, Jason and I got our gear into the freshly ‘roo dented rental ... Read more >
