Mr D and I today celebrated our 2 anniversary of being on the road.  Since leaving Brisbane 2 years ago, we have travelled out to Birdsville, where we worked at the Birdsville Races, fished in the Diamantina River and caught our first yellow belly, worked on a 70,000 acre cattle station near  Winton, driven trucks for the bean harvest in Bowen - all that in the first 6 months. 

Following a quick and wet drive across NSW, we entered SA near Mildura, spent three months in the Flinders Ranges, while we worked at the Prairie Hotel in Parachilna, seen edacarian fossils in the ranges, driven the Ooodnadatta Track - and had a story published, travelled the length and breadth of the three main peninsulas - worked for Viterra for the grain harvest, did some casual work for a caravan park at Port Vincent, and after spending over 12 months in SA, we headed towards WA.

A nice drive through the Nullarbor earlier this year, a quick stint working in a caravan park in Kalgoorlie, squatting on friends land for a month in Esperance, and currently working at William Bay Country Cottages.....

Some bucket list items have been ticked:  Snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, swimming with the sea lions near Port Lincoln, A flight over a flooded Lake Eyre, The Great Australian Bight, Climb a sand dune in the Simpson Desert, drive the Eyre Highway (Nullarbor Plains)

Wow, all that in two years, and only just scratching the surface.  We had a three hour lunch date at the Lakehouse Winery in Denmark today to celebrate.

Congatulations on your two years on the road,and hope you have many more.

As you said you have not scratched the surface yet...same as us thirteen years and need another thirteen and just might ( I said just might ) see enough.But then again there is always that hidden gem some place that someone else has discovered and tells you about and off we will head once again.

Maybe we are doing some thing wrong, buy not being able to see all of Oz in three months like some people profess to do (not )

Regards Herbie.

Congrats on the 2 years Dunmowin and wow to Herbie..13 yrs that's amazing.

As I will be setting off within the next 6 months for who knows how long, it inspires me to see people like you out there for so long


Cheers

I like your outfit Shogun .When it is time for me to buy our setup .my choice is the Optimum. Very nice unit indeed. Finally got the wife on side .It's now sorting out health issues that at this point in time stops us Alan.
