Time to get out of Sydney. Chausse Corina and I piled into her two door car and took off West.

Other travelers used a variety of transport.

In two hours we were in the Blue Mountains, in one more hour we were out.

From 2010 Australia

Stopped in a park to camp for the night. No reason to pave roads right?

From 2010 Australia

Ok, mabey there was some flooding.

After more amazingly flat roads we ended up at a sheep station where we spent the night.

We were told by locals this is the greenest they’ve ever seen the outback and this was far far from normal.

And we’re back in civilization! Apparently with streets named after my hometown.

The dirt road took its toll. There was dirt all the way through the engine onto the inside of the hood.

From 2010 Australia

Hey!

From 2010 Australia

Allright! Paved roads again.
