Travel Stories

Posted by Bigg Daddy Wallbuxx | Filed under: News

I’ve decided to put the travel stories on the writing page (and keep this section for general news like it is at the moment)… there is a section in Short Stories that with start to fill up today.

These short stories will be an edited version of the notes I made while on the road… hopefully I will be able to condense these into an article soon.
—–EXTENDED BODY:
some short stats hitchhiking from Perth to Adelaide:

Distance: about 2700km
Time taken to get from Perth to Caiguna (about 1100km): 6 days
Time taken to get from Caiguna to Adelaide (about 1600km): 24 hours
Number of Lifts: 9
Drivers (Male vs Female): 7 Male, 2 Female
Longest wait for a lift: about 24 hours (Coolgardie)
Shortest wait: about an hour (leaving Perth)

also some may be interested to see what kilbot travels with…

some things to look out for

  • Goon bag (for emergences, if you’re sleeping on concrete you want to be a little drunk)
  • Bible (Jack Kerouac’s On The Road)
  • Notebooks
  • $1 US note
  • a small plastic lamb shaped monkey (see close up)
