... lasted a minute, so I resisted the chance. I plan to go to Egypt in the not too distant future, so will try for a ride there. After, we collected some fire wood from the side of the road for a camp fire later, and drove on to the camp near Uluru. <br><br> The afternoon was a trip to the nearby Kata-Tjuta, which is a group of giant rocks, but more attractive than Uluru and of more significance to the Aboriginals than the famous rock. We went ...

Greyhound Bus &#8211; Friday 6th to Saturday 7th November<br> Four consecutive bus journeys crammed into thirty-one hours are as advisable as they sound. I had two nights on the bus, providing around four hours of sleep, and a whole day in between where I did almost nothing due to being too tired to concentrate because of a lack of sleep from the night before.<br><br>The trip took me from Cairns back down to Townsville, then across ...

... stop for fuel at one point and this place had a bathroom. Guess who the first one was at the sink with a bar of soap and a towel? Yep, me. At first the other girls were looking at me like I was strange. But when I offered the bar of soap to them, everyone was desperate to feel a little cleaner! Not much you can do just washing your face and neck/arms, but it does make a difference!)<br>At the camp site, the driver, Scott, made an awesome dinner and we all got our ...

... these boulders almost glowed. We were as close to the centre of Australia as we will get on this trip.<br><br>We will have to do Ulura (Ayres Rock), Alice Springs and surrounding areas on another trip, as we are running out of time. We went back through Tennant Creek and did a short detour to Daly Waters Pub which is set in the middle of nowhere &#8211; a real outback pub. There is nothing around this place for hundreds of miles. <br><br>Next stop heading ...

... Australien...<br><br>... als wir nachts in Darwin ankommen, schlafen wir uns erstmal am Flughafen aus (und das erstaunlich gut) bis wir uns auf Erkundungstour begeben... und spaeter den Zug "The Ghan" etc. fuer den naechsten Tag buchen, um nach Alice Springs zu fahren... <br><br>... 24 Std. "brausen" wir mit Stop in Katherine durchs Outback... dabei wird mir auch bei langem aus dem Fenster schauen nicht langweilig - wir bekommen schon unser ersten ...

... br><br>- It is expensive! Even if you account for dollar being a bit more powerful, prices are high for food, clothes, etc<br><br>- I love the &#8220;no worries mate&#8221; amongst strangers. This isn&#8217;t possible in USA<br><br>- Good beer: Toohey, Carlton Draft, Vic Bitter, and others<br><br>- Toilets have 2 buttons for flushing, and urinals ...

... in beide richtingen, nauwelijks verkeer en af en toe een dode kangoeroe naast de weg) We kwamen aan in Banka Banka, bij de Helen Springs veehouderij die zo groot is als heel Belgie! Hier krijgen we een slide show over het leven daar. 's Avonds bij het kampvuur haalt een van de andere gasten zijn gitaar boven. Vroeg naar bed vandaag met zware wind rond de tent, maar toch heerlijk geslapen.

... of the cattle station. We got there, but a howling wind, tried to put our tent up and failed! Much to Gra's disgust we had to drive on to the next 'stop' which was a petrol station with a motel out of Hitchcock!! Got a room, more like a container, but it was clean. And Gra perked up when he realised their Tv was in colour and that we could watch the Portugal v France match!!! which we did.
