NOW i understand!!

g’day , hows it going?

im still alife!

i had a great/fantastic/cool banana/wicked/amazing  time in the outback! 10 days out there, where there is nothing else then the little group of 9, a 4wd, a dusty road, a pub here and there and…a landscape that looks more like the moon. great!!

we saw so many things. we climbed wilpena pound in the flinders range, we visited terry and the others in iga warta, we walked around uluru, we didnt see much of the sunset and the sunrise there because of cloudy and even rainy weather, we didnt care and had a beer on the roof of the car, we walked in the olgas/kata tjuta, we climbed kings canion and had a dip in the water hole in the garden of eden. and in between there, we drove for hourse without seeing anything else then sand, stone, a bearded dragon, and suddenly a pub and a house…and then back to nothing for hours. we were swimming in water holes, some cold, some up to 38 degrees, we saw a brown snake(one of the most deadly ones) a lot of old cars, dumped in the desert, we drank warm water and walked on red sand… I start to understand what people love about this country and what makes them come back!  i can never live in the outback, allready when the lady in the opal mine in coober pedy said it can get up to 57 degrees in the summer, i know, this is not the place for me, but god do i love the place!! facinating! thats the word. and Wayne the tourguide was a great help to make the trip to what it was!

now my body has had enough. we all collapsed more or less after the trip. we sticked together some last days in alice springs, and yesterday i flew over to perth. i dont know how long i will stay. maybe a week…and then travel north, maybe with a new tour, maybe not!

ok guys! its weird thinking about, that i was supposed to be home by now, but im glad im not! there is more to experience. i only wish i could share it with you all, better then i can through this blog…

Miss you Hans!!!

last one…

how’s it going?

so…3 minutes left here.

last internet check before im off.

everything is fine. im sick of germans..they talk loud in the middle of the night, they are everywhere…and…but otherwise im fine! just walking around in adelaide.

have a nice eastern everyone!!

Adelaide to Alice-springs!

YEY!!! I did it! i booked the trip from Adelaide to Alice Springs today. it is a 10 day 4wd expedition, with a small group. some of the places we visit are: Flinders Range, Coober Pedy(you know “mad max2″!! ) Simpson Desert, Uluru,  the Olgas, Kings Canyon aso…

Then, from Alice Springs im flying over to Perth and then…well lets see, but i have around 5-6 weeks to get back to Bundaberg!

(oh and just so you know, i probably wont have a phone that works all the time on the outback-trip(from the 17ths, to the 26ths) so…if i don’t answer, don’t panic! I’m probably fine! )

womadelaide

 i had the chance to go to the big festival here in Adelaide after all(for one day at least). Womadelaide, is full of international artists, shops and lots and lots and heaps and heaps of “alternative” people! funny to just watch them sometimes.

i didnt see too much of the different artists, since i came to help Peter in his drumstore.but what i saw i liked! when your in the store, god after a while you just want to disapear somewhere…every single kid comes in and starts to bang their way through the store. every single drum has to be tried! but it was also a lot of fun. i think many of you back home would have liked this festival!

i think i go back to sleep again a bit now. it is already 9 in the morning, but we came home 3am…so..

update

 if it works, you can soon look at some new pictures. a few from tasmania, and maybe a few from johns farm aso…but its going very slow so…

Adelaide

So now we all left John and his little farm. and just so you know, Oprah did come back the next day. after that she followed us like a dog.

I met my old norwegian working-buddy from the time in Caboolture for some hours, before i took the night buss to Adelaide. there i found out that it IS good to book the hostel before you get there(something i of course didnt do..again) so after ringing every backpacker hostel in the area, i called Peter, the guy i thought about going to after some days in Adelaide, and asked if i could come already today. that was fine so i did. but he is not here, since he is gonna be mostly in town at the womadelaide(festival) all weekend and sell drums(thats what he does). so i am here with one other backpacker(who has been in Tasmania at the same place as i we found out!!) and the other girl is at the festival today. i dont know how long i stay, i sit here and try to make up a new plan for the rest of my stay. but its not easy… but i THINK, i do a 10-day tour to Alice springs, then, fly down to Perth, and go along the coast up to Darwin and in the end around back to Brisbane and Sydney…hm…sounds like a plan, but it can still change a LOT! it normally does! and im not really sure i can handle the weather up in the north either…cause already here its 35 C, and its getting hotter. maybe its just right now, maybe not…

ok..i get going with my planning!…

oh oprah…

hi again.

still og johns  farm. two days left.

yesterday we where running after a pig we bought on an auction for allmost three hours. her name is operah. and we dont know where she is now. we gave up. we where fed uop, tired, hungry and angry. never buy a pig!!

otherwise we have ahd our arguments with john, but he also said we have been lurning a lot since we came. and it is a funny experience we all will remember. john and his sex-jokes all the time. sarcasm is used a lot from all prats, or at least of john and me but we all go well together. (at least we dont feel threatened, since hes gay )

im hungry. hope he baught bread. and water. otherwise he drinks coke. and only coke!! and vegetables are more for the animals than for us… he is weird this john. but hey..its his life…

ok…gotta go!

have fun and take care!!
