The easy bit is over, tomorrow morning I will catch a bus north, then hitch through Port Augusta, Ceduna, across the Nullabor to Norseman, Coolgardie and Perth. My deadline is 12 noon Christmas Day which gives me about 48 hours to cover 3000km, an unlikely equation but this is the one time of year when it can happen… lots of cars on the road, people driving interstate to see family and everyone full of Christmas cheer.
I have no doubt that I will make it on time but it is going to be hard. Hard because it is going to be stinking hot. Hard because I don't like my chances of finding a place to sleep once I'm out there. Hard because mobile range will most definitely drop out and cambot will be idle from time to time. Hard because I have already blown my budget of $100 and run the risk of going over the absolute maximum, $210 ($210 is the cost of a plane ticket from Melbourne to Perth). Hard because South Australia has been strangely kind to me and I fear that it is saving the weird shit till the end… I'll keep you posted.

YOU CAN DO EEET!!! just don't jump on the Milat Express to Snowtown…
On a more positive note, you should still be thinking in terms of Absolute Maximum being $420 - being that, unless you were planning on being sent home in a body bag (not out of the realms of possibility), u still have 200 outstanding parking tickets in WA, so I presume you shall be heading back Easside at some stage - so don't feel guilty about throwing back another cheese sausage/ Farmers Milk (what the hell are you?) Iced Coffee combo, or some more Meat On A Stick, coz Im sure once the t-shirt sales start taking off…
And is it just me, or has XMas/ NYE snuck up like real quick this year? Bad enuff you have a bevy of party mates coming back, but then your "NYE Party Host" pulls the old "civil liability" argurment on a run-down student house, leaving 40+ cunts in the lurch who DON'T wanna pay $85 + BF for Ian "Who The Fuck" Pooley at a goddam la-di-dah again-with-the-Rhibosome Civic Centre function, leaving me in the awkward position of choosing between:
a) shambles; or
b) an intimate down south 4-person gayfest ARRHGGHGHGHG YOU SUCK!!!!
Anyways, good travelling to you Das "Yeah, I shower in my clothes" Kilbutt!
