Schnitzel Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) well 18 months later we did it again. headed north to escape the shitty winter that seemed to go for ever this year. figured I'd bump my old travel thread. dude in camo mask way happy to have left work behind for a bit actually on a plane how long has it been? tried to catch a road train for you guys this one was 4 trailers. but other pics too blurry. welcome to Darwin City tiny bit of graff peaky bird watching me with big eyes. then beers and pool next morning hit the park before it got too hot memorial to the United States navy ship that was sunk by Japanese Bombers in their attack on Darwin the US Peary that went down with the loss of 92 sailors the gun points to the final resting place of the ship but i couldn't see where it was after this we kicked it to the wave pool but didn't take a camera with us. schnitzel got sunburned the kids went mad in the pool and we had ice creams then a lazy afternoon of this.

Schnitzel Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 took ourselves to Crocodylus park which is like a little zoo. The untold part is that it's attached to a crocodile farm. Leather and meat. . Was so hot and humid I was absolutely dying dingo Went down to the beach. looks beautiful but at end of dry season it's not advisable\ These are why it's not advisable - get a good sting from these you're fucking toast. at least you can see these there are tiny ones called Irukanji that are about 1 inch long. went to Darwin Museum. sweetheart the crocodile who used to hassle people fishing. They tried to relocate him but accidentally drowned him in the process. contemporary indigenous art Australian equivalent of totem pole Cyclone tracy happened 4 am Christmas day 1974 and essentially destroyed Darwin completely they ended up evacuating 38,000 people of the population of 48,000 bit of graff and dance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 Bumping this back up because once again Schnitzel went north. For those new to the thread. in the first stage I went 1600km's north to Alice Springs. The second phase was me going 3200 km's north to Darwin. This time only 800km's north to Coober Pedy. sat in traffic finally got to the expressway to GTFO first port of call north is Port wakefield and I always get a chiko roll. fucking delicious once a year but also fucking disgusting when you look closely. dog needed to get out so quick walk for a pee Police doing a welfare check on a camper. You can see the person's dog through the trees - it was going mad the next stop was Lochiel but after 30k's of roadworks it seemed more important to crack the fuck on. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 despiote being miles from anywhere still pieces. Finally reached Coober Pedy Cobber pdy is a mistranslation of of an aboriginal phrase meaning "white Man in a hole" it's funny everybody now has to have their sticker for their road trip. even = one of my wife's contacts who is a Hospital CEO had a family sticker there.
