Time to get out of Sydney. Chausse Corina and I piled into her two door car and took off West.

Other travelers used a variety of transport.

In two hours we were in the Blue Mountains, in one more hour we were out.

Stopped in a park to camp for the night. No reason to pave roads right?

Ok, mabey there was some flooding.

After more amazingly flat roads we ended up at a sheep station where we spent the night.

We were told by locals this is the greenest they’ve ever seen the outback and this was far far from normal.

The dirt road took its toll. There was dirt all the way through the engine onto the inside of the hood.

Allright! Paved roads again.

Grabbed a few cellphone shots when I first got here.

Flight left Sunday at 7PM, arrived Tuesday at 8AM. Felt like a dreamworld, neither awake nor asleep.

For the day of December 6 I did not exist.

Sydney at last.
