What we had in mind for 2019
Our journey started on June 3, 2019 in Perth, WA. We had the freedom to spend and enjoy six month to explore Western Australia, parts of Northern Territory and South Australia.
Off sealed roads to experience real 4WD driving, wilderness and outback. Bush camping, hiking, swimming, fishing or just relaxing from time to time. Exploiting the Cobb BBQ to enjoy some fine meals after a long ride in the dust. Not to forget a refreshing, hot shower and a night in a comfy bed from time to time.
No pressure, no rush, just taking it easy. If we can’t make the plan, so what?!
