Australia - The Long Drive




Tuesday 17th May 2011

I am now preparing for my trip around the etremities of Australia. I have today received approval for a One Year's Visa. My next step is to book my flights and anticipate leaving late August 2011 with a return date early May 2012.

I plan to travel using Plod my Motorhome and will need to prepare it for its long trip. I am hoping to go with my NBC Morgan friends in Australia for the first part of the trip. The start will take place in Syndey driving across The Nullarbor to Perth.

I will then leave my friends behind in Perth and start the long drive going via the following places plus many more. Carnarvon, West Australia; Broome; Tour around the Kimberley Range; Darwin, Northern Territory; down to Tennant Creek; Across to Cairns, Queensland; Townsville; Down to Longreach; Brisbane; then down to Sydney, New South Wales. I expect to do in total about 12,000 miles.
