What a Journey!

GaryKelly · Guru

What does the big lap actually entail... all around the circumference and nothing in the center?

freehazzas · Senior Member

I think we are doing the big zig zag. A couple of years going all over each state. Been gone three years and no where near finished a lap. Well done for getting around.

smile Normally the circumference. But.... diversions? Going through the centre is a seperate trip. It's like doing Victoria. Around the outside, but a helluva lot in the middle

id love to do that one day..

Well done Anton,

Gary asked what comprised of doing the lap and I have included a link of my lap started in 2011 and finished last year.

https://maps.google.com.au/maps/ms?msid=210653024967311448547.0004c989e8c98b16967dd&msa=0

The icons are actual night stopovers it is not a road map.

is a work in progress consisting of travels since the lap.

Well done Anton - you will want to keep yourself busy when you get home, or you might want to do another trip - maybe a figure 8????

spida · Guru

Glad to hear you arrived safely. I like the idea of the figure 8 - not a lot of choice of roads in WA but then so many stops still to do. And of course TAS one day I guess is a must

shekon · Guru

Well done Anton, glad to hear that you have made it safely to your destination, have fun with the grandies and I am sure you will be out on the road again in the not too distant future.

GaryKelly · Guru

That's an impressive tour map, John, and a helluva lotta stopovers! One of these days.... *sigh*

The dog lady · Guru

It's great to set up your stopovers on google maps like that. I keep that as a sort of diary of where I've been, which helps me create slideshows (with captions) of my trips. I also have a similar map of "places I want to check out" which is a map of places others have been that look worth investigating. Nowhere near as many map pins on my map though. Well done!

Glad to hear you have arrived home safely Anton. I also arrived home a week ago. Don't leave it too long before you hit the road again, there is a heck of a lot to see out there.

Cheers!
