hellos everyone… am spending my last $2 on the internet, $2 won’t even get you a billabong icecream out here. in Balladonia, slighty dehydrated - the last lift fed me beers all the way here. am rolling now and hopefully can get across the nullabor in the next 24… after that the hardest bit is done. all the whiles have’n fun anyways.
can’t wait till i get to … umm.. a more civilised local so i can use the net properly and tell some stories.
…still with the shitty net access. So just some more short news with the full story to come.
Spent two full days out on the highway near Coolgardie waiting for a lift, there was an old hitchhiker when I got there and when another arrived I decided to head back into Kal. If nothing else I am starting to work up a good tan.
I think I was spoilt last time I hitched across, that was just before Christmas, just before New Years 2000, everyone was happy and travelling and generally had good thoughts of humanity. The mood isn’t so friendly out there now.
A friend from Kal (Oscar - he gave me a lift from Norseman to Adeliade in 1999) is going to give me a lift down to Kambalda at 1pm today and I’ll try from there. I washed my lucky hitchhiking clothes so I should be rolling across the Nullabor in no time.
Big G’Day to Adam Goat and Stu Badhair… you guys would have loved it in Kal last night, the pub put on Country and Western singer (cowboy hat, mic headset, strumming his guitar while his computer provided the backbeat), the pub was goin’ nuts calling out requests - ‘She’s my ute’ was a favourite.
yeeehaaaaa
