Brisbane

Well 3050 kilometres later, we made it into Brisbane at 530 pm yesterday (4th) afternoon. We are staying at Rebbeca & Tony's place in the hinterland of the gold coast. Beautifull location and house surrounded by green forested hills. We have been very graciously recieved by Rebeccas parents, who also live at the same house. The trip over went well. The contrasts of our country are still a wonder to me. Some find the Barkly highway boring, but I have become addicted to the wide open spaces and there is certainly plenty of that on the Barkly Tablelands. Our first night was at Tennant Creek 500k north of Alice. We left early (6am)the next morning aiming to push as far as we could manage in one day; past Mt Isa, Colarndra, Camonweal and Winton, finaly taking the last room we could find in the oldest pub at Longreach at 11.30pm. The room had more character than facilities, but we were thankfull for a bed, after 1300 kilometres. That big day broke the back of the trip and we had a couple of cruisy days after that, 600k to Roma, then 550k to the Gold coast. So here we are amidst all the glitz of sin city, getting ready to fly out this evening at 11.30pm. Anyway, thats all from me (Peter). The girls will update with their stuff from Kulu Lumpa tomorrow.
See ya
