If ever there was a time when I was in way over my depth, then this was it. Among the two thousand plus entrants, there was several million dollars worth of the latest equipment. I, on the other hand, had a borrowed shirt and jeans, a pair ... Read more >

We opted for the slow drive through Flinders Ranges National Park, which would eventually reunite us with the road north. Much of the bumpy road is along dry creek-beds that, during floods, rise by two metres or more. For this reason, unless ... Read more >

Tenacious D was my road-trip music of choice today. It is a good listen, but some of the language can be enough to make a miner blush. It certainly turned a few heads while taking on fuel in nowhereville, location unknown. ... Read more >
