well, I am bored after work so I figured I would whip up a quick blog with a map of where we have been too, how many km's driven and the cost of gas around the country. and a list of items we took to be safe in the outback. So here is a quick rundown I guess: Km driven: 12000km's on the truck Map says: 8xxxkm's but doesn't include all sidetracks Where the map doesn't show we were on a road, it is a 4x4 trail or rough road where a high clearance truck is required. 4x4 was never really engaged though, most is doable in 2wd except some deep mud further south and soft sand on the south side around Albany. cost of fuel: too much... These cost breakdowns are for 91 petrol Major ... read more

Day 85 We push on and find ourselves on a loop 4wd track today, the track is not to bad. I did great until we ended up stuck on the beach.. oops. But it wasn’t a real stuck.

That would suck to get stuck on the beach and have to dig.. zomg. We found a little shack someone built and it was good since it rained a bit. We had a lot of trouble getting a fire going but did enjoy a small fire and some burgers to go with that. ... read more

Day 81 Do the Wave!! Wave rock that is. We of course did the surfer pose. Lol. It was stunning. I couldn’t believe it. I guess I should go back a bit though. We did take Sean out to the mine to have a peak and threw some rocks down to the water. Cause… well.. that’s fun. The trail end is about 40km away… maybe a bit more, I sometimes lose track. This section of track got ugly, with some deep mud and some steep angles to put the truck on with the driver front tire coming off the ground almost a foot due to a slight swing of the tail end as the it slide off the embankment and fell into the mud. But we survived. And made our way into Hyden for a refuel ... read more
