Yes! We made it! Western Australia is officially the biggest state in the WORLD! After a few months in W.A, we were beginning to think we would never see the border of another state again, but here it is! After adjusting our clocks an hour and a half, we are all but Northern Territorians now, ready to fearlessly battle crocs with our bare hands, tuck into a wild camel steak on the BBQ, add words like 'mob' and 'struth' to our vocabulary and....
...finally get to see what Jefro the Kombi is made of - on long stretches of road, with nothing but the annoying sound of huge, human eating insects slapping against our windscreen, keeping us from really unleashing the powder of the VW.
On second thoughts, with temperatures still tipping the 40 degree mark (and it's May... is this insane?) we are probably best to drive at a more respectable 90 kilometres an hour in case Jefro blows up and we are stranded in semi-arid terrain, cooking in our own skin while we wait for the next passer-by (Hello? Wolf Creek, anyone?).
Yours in the great outdoors,
Odette
