When we started out this morning, we didn't now exactly how far we would go. Stuart had told us, that it was the most boring part of the trip. It turned out to be true. We have gone 512 km., and seen nothing else but a few farms and a lot of dead cangaroos. And....some huge trucks that drove damn fast..

"Roadtrain" goes around 110-120 km. pr. hour, you have to hold on tight, when they pass you !

After the first 100 km. we got nevous about our diesel supply. you can get all scared about yourselfes in the desert.

DIt is relatively cheap to fill up with diesel (The Australiens Think it is extremely expensive). Diesel kosts about 5,50 kr. gasoline is a little cheaper, about 5,00 kr.

We are at a luxury campingsite with a big pool with 2 slides and a big playing area. The children enjoys it, and they are now in the pool for the 3. time this afternoon. We are landed in mosguito country and unfortunately i probably wont be better before we are on the airplane. We have stopped counting our mosquitobites, but have just bought some spray, that should help.!

We just signed up for a sailing/ snorkling trip on thursday, and then.... on the road to townsville on friday.
