Next Stop: Darwin

July 31, 2014July 31, 2014 / Jane / Leave a comment

This is the car that needed relocating from Broome to Darwin for only $5 a day... Not too shabby a ride is it?! Complete with tent, sleeping bags, cooking gear and a handy little fridge, it was ready to go on a roadtrip ;-). Finding travel companions through a facebook group and on my tour … Continue reading Next Stop: Darwin

88 Days Later

Five farms later (plus one extra for a couple of days), two in Northern Territory and three in Western Australia have certainly provided quite an experience … Continue reading 88 Days Later

I stood and read pages entitled the 'sorry' book filled with letters sent by people taking photos, sand … Continue reading That Big Red Rock in the Centre of Australia…

September 19, 2013November 8, 2013 / Jane / 2 Comments

I sat in the seat that had been Yo's during my Tasmania tour. The man across the aisle introduced himself. Our guide, so named 'Duck' (who uncannily reminded me of Keanu Reeves in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) asked us to write something about ourselves. We drew on the bus windows. I wrote Jane aka … Continue reading The Valley of the Winds and the Canyon of a King

Leaving on a Road Train Made of Hay…

September 17, 2013November 8, 2013 / Jane / Leave a comment

My time at Renner Springs has drawn to an end... Negotiating a lift South with a trucker, I swung out on a road train carrying hay! What an amazing couple of months it has been... There are so many memories I am taking with me on the onward journey. I have had some of the … Continue reading Leaving on a Road Train Made of Hay…
