Despite my positive thoughts the night before I woke up in a horrendous mood. I put this down to a rubbish night sleep which consisted of being cold and uncomfortable. I plodded on with the day though as we made the short 120km or so drive to Albany. Albany was the biggest town we had visited for a few days, maybe since the start of the trip at Adelaide. It even had a McDonalds, Voles and Woolworths. We initially went to the visitor centre to find out what we cou...

We left Esperence and headed to Ravensthorpe, where there was a wild flower show happening. Rebecca had been recommended this by an old lady at the Esperence campsite and wanted to check it out. Unfortunately (secretly I was delighted) by the time we hit Ravensthorpe the show was just closing for the day. However, there was two nice old ladies running the event who let us have a couple of knitted flowers each for free which were made by the Ravensthorpe community...

We woke up early the next day, keen for an early start. I had a spring in my step as I knew I would have signal today and be back in touch with the world. I wouldn't normally be this bothered about technology but the company I was keeping was worse than being stuck in a van with just a Kangaroo for company. Don't get me wrong the trip wasn't awful but I just felt I'd be having a much better time with a Radder, Tom Basford, Earl, Jack or Paul Kelly. Or to be frank...

I arose early the next day ready to crack on with the day and hopefully find signal. German Rebecca had other ideas though slowly plodding around. As I said in my last blog I was losing the plot. Eventually we set off for the day. Rebecca once again taking control of the wheel. Much like the other days conversation was limited to one word answers and her disagreeing with my every comment, so I decided to get some sleep until we reached Head of Bight. This place w...

Rebecca picked me up from the hostel in Port Lincoln and it was now time to head to Perth. I had no idea how long it would take, where we would stop along the away or anything really. Unfortunately my trust was in the German girls hands. On a positive note though conversation started much better than previously as I told her about the shark dive, and she told me about her visit to Coffin Bay which she said was very nice. Rebecca took control of the driving all da...
