Three months on

Thanks for all the advice you all gave me before I started my journey. I am now on the peninsulas in South Australia, slowly heading for Adelaide then cutting across to Lightning Ridge by the end of June. I know my five months on the road is just a 'taster'. I can understand those who never go home again...

Will not have the time to update this forum as I usually do, I have just spent time updating the blog and anyone interested in my adventures can access it via the signature link.
