Australia Day is enormous festival day here. Thou real party goes in the evening before. Normally after 10PM it is quiet here, but now bars and pubs work all night long.

Darwin
Kununurra is like I mentioned the most beautiful town in the world, but is really very small town breathing in its slow rhythm. We did not stayed there for long and travelled on to Darwin. Last two thousand kilometres we drove we made an interesting observation. When outside temperature is over 38C degrees and your […]
Geraldton – Kununurra
We got our car and started with refilling our supplies of water and food. Ahead waited 4500 km of unawareness. About that region we knew that it will be very hot and humid. As we started to leave Geraldton I forgot to fasten the seatbelt and the police was right there! The story was not […]
Esperance – Geraldton – Monkey Mia
We have to cry a little bit about our cars technical problems, because it has taken a great deal of our time and energy. We received our car much later than expected and then started drive towards north. As we were behind our schedule, we prepared for a long ride. The first big city was […]
Esperance – Perth
From Esperance we drove on to Albany, where +41C degrees was expected, but just after when we drove out, temperature started to fall and soon reached +21C.

Christmas Time
Necessary vehicle we have now received from the salesman. Now we are the proud owners of a Ford Ecovan, which has a diesel engine and is much more economic than the gasoline van. With mileage we are about to drive, it seems very “sexy” to us. One French guy made rebuild this camper from usual […]
First days in Australia

Last Days in Tallinn
Couple of days more I will enjoy this very snowy winter weather and then off I go! At least it seems that way – even Funair can´t surprise me anymore! A year ago I was sitting at home watching the news about similar strike. At first aircrew members were on strike then their baggage colleagues […]
