Still on the road.  Saw about 20 kangaroo carcasses on one 100 km stretch of road. 

Enjoyed the stay at Barkly Homestead, a roadhouse 200 km from anything.  Had beers with an oil driller.  Says he's working for a Jew who pumps money into the West Bank and who's got a bodyguard who carries an AK47 and has ammunition draped over his chest at all times.  Says the guy's wanted by Al Qaeda apparently.  He says, "Who the fuck is going to come out to middle of this bloody hot bush in the middle of nowhere to get this guy?"  I dunno, I say.  Isn't Saudia Arabia hot?  "Like anyone's going to find him way the fuck out here," he says.  Well, if every driller he hires goes to the nearest roadhouse, has a few beers and then tells the first American he sees who then publishes it online, his chances of being found are probably fairly high.

Selected notes from journal

January 17 "Hot, Hot, Hot.  Drive, Drive, Drive.  Left forest green and wet [Queensland was flooding].  Passed through green flat grassland and now just brown flat grassland"

January 18 "Lucky not running smoothly :|"

Terrorism!!!
So, maybe Bush should appoint the oil driller to be the new head of Homeland Security. Sounds like he's about as qualified as the current and past pretenders, not to mention B . . . u . .
