Last year my father and his mate Ian (in their 80's) went across the Nullabor for a little drive!
Well, they're at it again. They had to wait until Ian got the ok from the doctor about his pacemaker and then they wasted no time in getting on the road. Dad does all the driving and Ian is co-pilot.
This time they've been to
Longreach, Hughendon, Charters Towers,
Atherton Tablelands and were in
Karumba last night.
I think they're off to Mt Isa and across the Barkly Tablelands then to
Tennant Creek &
Alice Springs before heading down to
Coober Pedy and
William Creek where they hope to take a flight over
Lake Eyre.
They're having a ball and reckon their next venture will be a circumnavigation of Australia!!
