The program had been developed in recent months for a stroll along the East Coast was this: to get to Cairns, buy a car, do a week of "vacation" with Barbara and her mysterious friend, work a few weeks in a banana farm, starting with the car to the West Coast, passing through Alice Springs and Darwin
... Well ... we got to Cairns ... we bought the car (a Holden Commodore in the super 90 which is more larger than my room) ... and Barbara joined us with the ... big surprise ... Bent! With them we went to Cape Tribulation where I celebrated my quarter century in the Rain (the rainforest does not forgive!).
So far everything went as planned (except for the small unexpected running out of fuel in Mosman ... things that happen when the pointer of the fuel does not work ...!).
But then came the first bad news: the collection of bananas is still too cold ... so why is there no jobs in Queensland
... And the first problem came with the car ... In short, the car was registered in South Australia and to register on our behalf in Queensland needs a roadworthy certificate that would have cost us almost more than we paid for the car ...
So ... Plan B ... you go to South Australia to register the car! So why not ...
May 30 we left Cairns with four new tires (which cost me a pair of UGG) and an estimate of the mechanic more than two thousand dollars (electrical problems ... it seems). We're back
Townsville (where I had an appointment with a wombat!) and, after storing food in cans, we finally left the coast to dive in the Outback ... anything along the Overlander's Way ... always straight along miles and miles of scenery all equal ...

It 'strange to think that we have spent nearly six days to arrive in Alice Springs: When you travel you lose all track of time ... you realize when and only 'morning and when and' night, but the rest of the day the hours pass all the same ...
We went from Mt Isa Mines and slept in a tent in the shade the Devil's Marble ... I seem to find really amazing here ...
Now we are waiting for the Kings Canyon and Uluru ...
And then?? The only catch is the next destination drive to Port Augusta ... from then ... who knows ... Maybe
to return to the initial plan to go to Darwin or maybe while we're there we go to Adelaide and we do the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne
... Certainly, however, I need a job soon!

Just back in the civilized world (where internet does not cost $ 6 per hour!) I put a little 'photo ...
I know my posts have become somewhat 'but too synthetic to tell what I saw and done these days on the road does not happen overnight in front of the computer ...
