Australia 2006 - Outback walkabout

 
Home

In November 2006 I did a journey to Australia. Traveled to Darwin, rented a car or more precisely a campervan, and drove all the way down to Sydney. The trip took about 3 1/2 week, and I covered a distance of 7500 km. A lot of outback driving with a relatively crappy car, a Hiace. Filled with a fridge, a micro-oven and a gas stove. And very bad on the Australian outback dirtroads. It was a great trip. On this page some pictures from the trip can be seen. Enjoy.
