Day 1 - Port Augusta

On August 6^th we have covered the first 350km. After nice pastries in Chinatown of Adelaide we picked up the wicked camper van – really nice sweet bomb with paintings and colorful stickers all over the place. And it’s an automatic diesel J, so we are like real farmers now J.

Our new idea is to take pictures of sweet bomb cars in small towns and villages. The first on the way was Redhill, SA with population of 221 person, 7 out of which have died in World War I – this probably the highest rate of military recruitment in the country J.

Next one was Dublin – no kidding – real Irish town with a smiley leprechaun welcoming you on the road… We didn’t stay too long here, but it seemed like Andriy is visiting me, and not vice versa…

200km more and we stopped in Port Augusta – the crossroads of Australia. We think the name comes from the town being a border between South Australia and Northern Territory, but we are not sure… Nothing special, except the power station and outback center.

40km more and we stopped in the outback – it was getting dark and the goats around were just right to spend the night here… Sunset was amazing – such a mix of colors! Blue sky, red sun, green trees and bushes, red soil, brown stones and wicked chameleon car… And it’s so flat all over the place… It seems huge… And it is…

Our next proper stop is Uluru, which is 1229km straight from here… And it is straight at least for another 1000km… J
