Well its not the end of civilisation, but a normal one anyway...What I mean by this is that our travels of Australia have pretty much come to an end and we are now off to slightly weirder destinations such as Cambodia, Vietnam and China where I should imagine the locals will point and stare saying things such as "freak and tall man!"

Anyway, enough rambling! Our easy rider bus journey has come to an end and it was actually a lot of fun. The west coast is pretty massive and a lot of driving is required but when you get to the places they are really worth it. Broome in particular was a highlight with some of the best beach in the world and sunsets that were pretty beautiful as its a very westerly point! Parties on the beach also brought back nice memories of Brighton, although slightly warmer and less pebbles! We met some cool people as well, and it will be a shame to leave them when we travel to Bangkok, although not such a shame that I wont have to get on a bus for at least a week, especially at 7am in the morning! Or the roadhouses, blimey we stopped at some real sh*t holes along the way, where if you tried to go in the DUNNY you would pretty much instantly be sick and if you tried to eat anything on a bench you would get instantly swarmed by flies who seemed to particularly enjoy trying to get into your eyes! Anyway enough rambling, my basic point is Western Australia is awesome but the travelling part isnt! Was quite impressed with the flying doctors as well (did anyone used to watch that daytime television programme?) who could actually land on the road as they didnt have runways, reckon dad would love that! Bit better than the mondeo!

Anyway please look at my photos of all the things i have seen cos they take ages to upload and i just had to donate to this site to get some extra space! Anyway lots of love to everyone. Hugs and kisses and also good luck to the lions, think of me watching the matches along with about a thousand other englishman in bangokok!

much love bredrin
