The drive from Coober Pedy up to the resort at Uluru was a toasty 7hrs (731km) and we stopped once just over the South Australian/Northern Territory border at a town called Kulgera. I say a "town" but really it's just what we'd call a service station. This is something we've been getting used to - even if it's named on the map it doesn't mean it's a town with everyday supplies! Our campsite sits just outside the national park of Uluru - Kata Tjuta and ...

Our first stint on the road lasted about 3hrs, was a mere 306km and took us to the picturesque Mt Remarkable National Park. We camped at a fairly small section of this park which is situated right at the south end of the Flinders Ranges - an area we'll be seeing more of over the coming days. It's a very honest system as you pay the correct money into an envelope (camping fees & park entrance fees) then slip the envelope into a secure box - keeping a slip for...

As previously mentioned, Adelaide was for recouperation - to spend time with family, to find a car, to babysit and to get ready for our 3rd, 4th and 5th months on the road. We only intended to stay for about a week but, put it down to lethargicness, being more than content with our surroundings, or even pure laziness, we ended up enjoying 2 easyish weeks with Ryan, Abby, Ellie and, for a few days, Toby. Spent the first week casually looking for an affordable ve...

Our idea of a free nights accommodation was not so well thought out! We boarded our flight from Singapore at 00.40am and took off at 01.20am. The flight was fairly empty but we couldn't get seats to lay down on. Also, with a good choice of films & food, we only got about an hour sleep each. I suppose the only good thing to come of this was i got a free Singapore Sling whilst, probably, still in Singapore!! We landed about 6am in Perth and had a long old wait...

Our last destination in South East Asia is upon us and we endeavour to make the most of the cheaper lifestyle while we can. Arriving at the border, leaving Malaysia is easy but getting into Singapore is not so! We were told that this place is over policed (is that possible?) so we're prepared for anything. We pass our backpacks through the scanners and immediately they find something worth checking, asking us what metal objects are in our bags may have been easi...
