With summer (ha!) apparently right around the corner, its about the time we start getting itchy feet and wondering where we will be going and what to do with the longer days, and generally warmer weather… if we ever get there…
To that end, we made it imperative to get some camping, climbing, outdoorsy type stuff [...]

We considered sending this in to You’ve Been Framed, but decided to put it on the blog instead -and a year later we managed it.
I think this bird saw itself in the windows and mirror of our car and first tried to woo itself

Driving to King’s Canyon from Alice Springs can be done on sealed roads or else on un-sealed roads along the Ernest Giles Road via the Henbury Meteorite Conservation Park. In 2007, we decided on the latter and went off to see the spot where NASA had tested their martian landing gear. Here’s the

An awesome tune. It is a shame we are leaving Australia ten days before [...]

Well, the time is almost upon us when we have to leave Australia before we’re forcibly removed: our visa runs out next month, and we’ve booked some flights away, next Sunday, from Melbourne.
Following the sale of our car to some nice Germans here in Adelaide, we have decided to hire a vehicle to complete the [...]
