The route is taking shape


The site should be coming on-line shortly, a moment we've been waiting for for quite some time. Building was quite a chore but I think the result warrant all the effort.

Not that I’m out of a job all of a sudden. Right now we are talking to our suppliers about the exact specifications of our gear. Exciting, fun, but also quite intensive. We are forced to sit down  and really think about what we want to take and what not.

Also we have been going over our route, which seems to take quite some time. In an attempt to keep track of when we are going to be where, we have divided our route in three parts or months. The first part runs from Darwin NT to Kalgoorli WT, about 6000 Km of which more than 1200 or on unsealed roads. The second part takes us from Kalgoorli straight through the desert to Alcie Springs and then down to Albury NSW. There we will be commemorating the history emergency landing of the ‘Uiver’, exactly 75 years ago. The third part will take us back to Darwin. The above map gives a nice indication of the route we will be taking
