This house was very big. Perhaps not oversized compared to the average house, but most definitely oversized compared to the average house you see scooting along at 100km/h on the back of a truck.

This is the final route the intrepid road trippers ultimately tripped. It was a mighty fine adventure.

It was 7,371km according to Google but the trip meter reckons we drove about 9,700km (including the optional detour to Uluru).

• Catch up on post cards
• Do your washing (+40°C heat excellent for drying)
• Work on your tan (UV Index 13 (Extreme) most days)
• Chat to friends back home (fast internet)
• Meet new people (unisex dorms) ;)

We're spending two days in Mt Isa. Totally awesome.

Road Trip plans are coming along merrily. I will be trying to get in contact with anyone who said they were either fairly interested or very fairly interested. However, if you'd like to express fresh interest to make sure you get contacted, that would be a good idea.

At this stage we're expecting 8-12 people I reckon. So everyone get in now while the group is small.

My phone number is 0423184673 and my email is ryan@footboot.net.

I've created a Roadtrip Forum. If you apply for membership you can start posting.

My second, by more concerted, attempt at working out the economics of the buses for our little Alice Springs Road Trip. It gets a lot more expensive when we don't all squash into the same bus.
