A little car ride
I was looking thru my pictures in my computer today and found some nice ones from a trip I did this April. My friend he used to live in Perth Austrailia all the way on the west coast before, and decided to move to Brisbane on the east coast. He packed all his stuff in a truck bought a plane ticket for his wife and 2 babies so the flew over but he needed to take his car across the country so we decided to drive the 5000km from Perth to Brisbane.
I was just signing off in Puerto Rico so after a short trip Puerto Rico-New York-Hamburg-Dubai-Perth I was there.
My head was uppside down and did not know what time it was beacause of all the time zone i flew over, so I take that as an excuse for getting so drunk the first night falling asleep on the floor.
The next day we started our trip going east for two day seeing some nature and long roads :)
These cliffs is on the southern part,, very nice we pulled of the road 100 m and found these.. 100meters down to the ocean.. You do not want to slip here .
After 3 days we arrived in a town called Cedua. Magnus my friend had a book of all 4wd track thru the desert so we decided to take a littel detour thru the desert, a track called googs track, it was 190km long, we planed to make it in 2 days.
We put up our tent and had to many beers and then fell asleep, in the morning we were to tired to go buy food so we took the famaly pizza from yesterday and put in in the dashboard and started going out thrue the desert.
We had a goal to reach a mountan called mount Fink after one day and sleep there in our tent, but after 30km I look on our roof and saw we lost some of the stuff we had there, the car was overloaded. So we had to go back and after 29,5 km we found it so we started going again and as we only could go in 20km/h max we did not make it to the mountain in time for darkness to fall so we had to put up our tent when it was all black outside.
When we woke up in the morning we found a nice supprise, 2 flat tires :) We had not seen a car since we left for the desert and we had a UHF radio in the car but noone was in range to hear us, We were lucky my friend bought a 12V compressor so we could pump the tires and then go one hour and do the same, we had one spare tire so without this one we had to walk 100km to the nearest gas station.. :)
Magnus poosing while pumping the tires, note the red tube to the back tire.
After 2 days in the desert we finaly came out to civilasation again. We were now pretty tired of the desert so we kept us on the main roads until we arrived in Magnus new place...
If you are looking for fun driving with a lot f curves do NOT cross Australia :)
After 9 days we arrived, and it was nice to hit the beach and drink some beers, and then Ms A came down to join our party a week
