Our tour of duty as Ambassadors for WorldNomads has now reached its climax (sorry, did you miss that)? Back in Stanthorpe, Queensland, it was time to say goodbye to Matt and the boys, before departing on the lengthy drive back to Sydney. I had hoped ... Read more >

The Life Cycle of an Apple

Do you remember that feeling as a kid when your mother would drag you to the dentist? Arriving in Stanthorpe kind of brought back such memories for me; for it was only a few years ago that I was here as one in an army of backpacker farm workers.... Read more >

Underground

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 9 Apr 2007 | Views [2236]

Early morning we departed Williams Creek significantly lighter than when we had arrived. Two of life’s essentials, fuel and beer, are extortionate, and after filling up with both we could afford to stay no longer. Our quest to organise a flight ... Read more >

Following the Camel Toe Trail

AUSTRALIA | Thursday, 29 Mar 2007 | Views [5153] | Comments [1] | Video

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 >

Flies and pedestrian Emus

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 25 Mar 2007 | Views [1825] | Video

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 >

Strewth

AUSTRALIA | Friday, 23 Mar 2007 | Views [1919]

For once, we were organised and on the road quite early. The information gained in the boozer last night was so contradictory as to be of little use, so we made for probably the best source in any small country town – the gas station. Because motorists ... Read more >

Shower Day

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 18 Mar 2007 | Views [1679] | Video

I really wanted to catch up with some writing tonight. We had just covered over 300km, much of which were on dirt. It was my turn to cook, so I simmered a simple Spaghetti Bolognaise while I took my first shower in four days. This is not any old ... Read more >

Bathurst - City of Speed

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 18 Mar 2007 | Views [2357] | Comments [2] | Video

We had great plans for the day; the decision had been taken, we would definitely make for Lake Eyre, 2000km distant. It is quite an ambitious aim, and we are aware that there will be many distractions along the way. We just didn’t realise it would ... Read more >

Town & Country

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 18 Mar 2007 | Views [1578] | Comments [5] | Video

I had a bit of a thing about driving over Sydney Harbour Bridge, but neither of us particularly wanted to pay a toll coming back; so that pretty much decided our route out of the city. We’d go north. Today was to be a settling in day; not too much ... Read more >
