Sydney to Perth Round Up

Big Things

There were, in total, 10 Big Things on this trip and 4 of those 9 days saw 2 per day - which was very good indeed. On 3 of those days there were no Big Things at all and I have written a stern letter to the Prime Minister about this. You know who you are and I expect action.

Maybe Next Time...

I am considering a different basis for the next trip, quite possibly 'things that Kim walks into'. There were few days that Kim didn't bang her head, stub her toe, walk into something or drop food / drink / other substances down herself. These places should be immortalised - possibly with a plaque. I'll see what the National Trust thinks.

Caravan Parks Suck

It would be difficult to avoid these altogether. Depending on your fortitude / stupidity you could possibly cross the Nullarbor without stopping except for fuel. Everybody else needs at least one stop and that means a roadhouse - i.e. a thinly disguised caravan park. These apart, however, it is quite possible to avoid them altogether. Best would be the strange and interesting pubs / hotels along the way (where you get to meet serial killers on a more social basis). As we had the dog, motels are probably a good compromise. After all, what's the difference between sneaking a dog into a caravan park cabin and a motel cabin. And she likes the free motel biscuits.
