Road Trip!

[den]

Dad needs a second driver for a business trip. I've never been to Darwin so I volunteered.

Sorry boodie. I still owe you a Road Trip.

Why not fly? Well, due to the crap airfare deals you get here it would cost $700 Sydney to Darwin return, + car hire, + driving to Sydney Airport and parking in the long term car park. It's cheaper to drive. I have the time. It's not like I have a job or anything.



Trip plan. Approx. distance 3800km each way.


I'll be able to colour in a bit more of the Where I Have Been map.

though I'd just watch out for those crazy RoadTrains out that way.. those guys are NUTS! =8)

specially around Silverton, where that Crazy Max fella roams about...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but seems to me my Mum (the geologist) told me that Coober Pedy literally translates to "Man in a hole" ?

correct! The local Aborigines called it that when they saw the opal miners.
