So we set off on the 18/2/14 from Mount Gambier, SA to Darwin NT. A 4,342Km drive, well the way we went anyway.
some of the photos i stole from natalie who has been doing a scrapbook, the reason they have effects and borders.

on the mighty Murray river, after all my travels of the world i still find the being around the Murray special and something just draws me in
one of the many free ferrys that are used insted of a bridge.
our home for now
the old burra mine
the Midnight oil house, midnight oil being an aussie rock band
gladstone goal, a cold spooky place, it was shut down in the 70's as the cells didnt have toilets.
aligator gorge
good beer and home (van) made bread.
Woomera missile range, set up between the British and Australian governments after WWII as the Germans were able to bomb London with rockets. Besides the town and highway it is a prohibited area that is around the size on England.
An underground hotel in Coober Pedy, around 50% off the towns population (3500) live underground as it can get up to 47c. It is around 23-24c underground all year round. It is also famous for opal
feeding orphan kangaroos and a little wombat
welcome to NT, maybe a bit like the wild west.

the price of fuel just kept going up! when we left we paid $1.60 and at the highest we paid $2.30/ 1l of diesel.
Now the Ernest- Giles Rd. NEVER TAKE IT!! a 100km road of rough. but thank god we did, when you start traveling the outback you keep seeing the same people at different stops, camps and sights. we had been seeing this one guy for close to a week, when we came around a corner we saw him sitting under a tree with a few bags and some belonging. “where’s your car” he had a 4x4 mitsubishi. “over there” it was a now burnt out wreak. He came around the corner and slid out, rolled and it caught fire. He had been there for over 2 hours and only seen 2 cars both going the other way, there was no phone signal for over 200km either way.I will keep it there for now, sorry for being so long. We are now in Darwin and i dont think my jeans will get much wear, so hot and sweaty!

Gave my MBB's another soak over the weekend so took some more pics.

Great update Todd. Loved that you included Midnight Oil. That album cover brings back great memories.

great post todd. nice views of the outback. totally not a single soul in sight. btw $1.60 is still quite high. it was $1.56 over the weekend and i was already reluctant to do so here in perth.

Thanks for all the kind words. :))
