I've Been Everywhere Man.
Well at long last I've been to every state in Australia (besides Canberra). A couple of weeks ago Woode, Jennifer, Katherine and I decided that the Coffee palace and Melbourne were getting a bit boring ant that it was time for a quick escape to a wee bit of sun and the red centre. We set off on some day about 2 weeks ago in our hired car which was a bit of a squeeze to be sure, at least when I went to pick it up I went to late which upgraded us to 5 door rather than 3 door but also downgraded us to Automatic rather than manual. Anywho we set of to Geelong with Woode taking the wheel (because I by all rights was probably still drunk), around abouts Geelong we stopped for a quick breather for breakfast (the girls needed to go shopping). Then I got my hands on the wheel and was driving (legally) for the first time in nearly 2 years. The Great Ocean Road was our destination. this time round it was a pretty dull session with everyone sleeping most of the time and we'd all seen most of this coast line before. The only really memorable part was when I nearly crashed because some silly bugger before me decided to stop on a corner because there was a bloody koala in the road Never Break For Animals its stupid wasn't everyone told that? We stopped for pizza after it got dark then Woode took the control of the vehicle again and we were on our way to Mt Gambia, Once we arrived we found to our astonishment that is was another small village and all the hostels and cheap motels/hotels were shut so we decided to continue our drive until either we find a nice spot to stay for the night or fall asleep in the car and crash and die. Un/fortunately depending on wether or not you like us we did stop for a snooze of about 5 hours then went to Adelaide. Adelaide is boring don’t go there! The next day we woke up for our tour to the outback.Outback: Our first tour was not all that exiting the drive was long and boring the highlight was def Cobber Peddy the village underground where a few of the tour members got steaming drunk, played silly games, watched the FA cup final and got a lift with about 15 people on the back of a Ute. Actually the highlight may of been the dog fence (a wire fence put up to stop dingoes going south and eating all the sheep... fascinating!)The next 3 days were so much fun besides the fact that I lost my voice. From Alice Spring we visited Kings Canyon, The Olgas and Uluru. Lots of fun, love to tell you about it but I'm getting bored and hungry I'll just state some of the Highlights, Jennifer got too drunk and didn't notice the sun setting at Uluru, I wasn't aloud to climb Uluru because it was too windy, I was really fat and smelly after 3 days without a shower, Our team won the competition held between our tour group although I got nearly every point, riddles are stupid, bus bowling is fun, I didn't sleep for 3 days, almost died of asthma and I decided to prove that shoes are not required for any of the walks.Danny B If you want anymore just ask I may or may not find time for it some other time
