… don’t get me wrong I hate South Australia, and I don’t think it would be a huge loss if Adelaide broke off the mainland and was swallowed by a skool of angry sea bass… but i am really glad to be in Adelaide after spending 6 days trying to get across the nullabor.
i got stuck at Caiguna for 24 hours* and was thinking that hitchhiking in Australia may be dead, but managed to get a lift with a 25 year old uni grad from Melbourne and soon we were rolling into S.A. at 120km/h listening to Frank Zappa and chatting about all things. We slept on the beach in Ceduna for a couple of hours and then went straight on to Adelaide. I probably could have got a lift through to Melbourne, but decided to collect some more stories and may be do some fruit picking so’s i can arrive with some big cash prizes.
i have uploaded some pictures in the gallery but will caption them later… right now i’m going to get some decent sleep.
*my average wait for a ride on this trip has been around 20 hours, in 1999 the average was around 3 hours.
