A change of scenery
We decamped quite early and headed west to El Questro. The roads were dirt and a bit rough after all the rain and Adrian drives like he's doing a grand prix even when pulling a trailer. Sitting up the back is quite uncomfortable and bouncy and my neck is ...

Elquestro Gorge
Quote of the day:- ‘Move your nose please donkey’, as a donkey has his whole head inside our car after we fed him some apple cores. Moments afterwards the sprinkler went straight through Ella’s window, which produced a lot of giggles. ...

Dzisiaj na sniadanie zazyczylysmy sobie z Nell nalesniki. Nic tak dobrze nie smakuje jak cieniutkie nalesniki z bita smietana i owocami. Zrobione oczywiscie przez eksperta- Marian robi najlepsze nalesniki pod sloncem. Potem rozpoczelismy akcje ...
West to Wyndham

Kalumburu

River Crossings und zurueck in der Zivilisation
Der naechste Tag waere mit 339 km besonders lang und eintoenig gewesen, waeren da nicht zwei grosse Hindernisse zu ueberwinden gewesen: Die Fluesse Durack und Pentecost! Beide haben je eine 100-120 Meter lange Furt, und der Wasserstand lag zwischen 60-70 ...
