We travelled over 11000Kms but did not sight one EO member!
At the start of the trip we called in at the
Dowerin Field Day and then continued north up the GN highway via
Port Hedland.Had a short side trip to
Marble Bar then continued heading north taking in 80 mile beach,
Broome,
Derby,Windjanna Gorge,
Kununurra and
Lake Argyle before crossing the border into the NT.Did
Darwin,
Katherine,
Alice Springs and
Coober Pedy before heading to
The Rock and Olgas and back across the
Great Central Road then thru the goldfields and home to the Southern wheatbelt.
It was a great trip experiencing some big variances in temperatures and weather and a big dust storm in
Coober Pedy.
Thanks to Motherhen for advising of conditions on the GCR

That was quick. Similar to our trip, only we didn't include
Darwin and
Katherine, or Cooper Pedy. It took us 4 months not 4 weeks!

Thats why they did not see any ExploreOZ stickers, cause they were flying ;-). You have to stay on the ground to see fellow travellers. Cheers Tony
