We made it. 2500 km’s of straight and empty roads. And we’re only half way on our trip :) Never seen so many dead kangaroos and cows. Never seen such emptiness and roads that just don’t seem to end. All you can see is this blue haze at the “end” of the road probably caused by the heat, so that it looks like you’re driving into a gap after which there’s nothing. And every now and then a huge 50metre long road train passes you (they’re not really trains, just massive trucks) with a big wooosh! and then it’s empty again.

There wasn’t too much to see on the way. We stopped in a few little villages and saw some funny country people, you know the cowboy hats, boots and a big beard sort of country hillybillies. The cattle farms here are massive. They’re so big that they actually have to sheer the cattle with cars and helicopters. One of the biggest farms here is about the size of Belgium! Other than that there’s been some freaky green frogs in the toilets. hehe, yes. the first time we went to this dodgy looking “oudoor” toilet we ran out screaming with Niina….just because after flushing I discovered that there were 3 green frogs the size of my hand living underneath the toilet seat. yuck. that’s the outback life :D

sorry no photos again, my laptop's too slow and we're gonna go see baby kangaroos and then get back on the road before it gets too hot! next time I promise :)
