Wow…! Made it!
Rather delayed, but it’s not like we were in a hurry…!
Back to Indonesia…
The diving was fantastic and the people… challenging to say the least! The beaches were perfect and the weather couldn’t be better!
We got as far as West Timor (which was lovely) when trouble broke out in East Timor so we decided due to safety, not to take any undue risks by entering. So a quick flight to Darwin it was.
Ahhhhh….. Australia!
How good was it to land on Aussie soil after what seemed like a lifetime in some regards and such a short time in others! It finally sunk in that our Expedition was coming to and end.
The Aussie Officials were great (how good was it to be back in the world of English speaking Professionals)! And we were soon under way after adhering to their very strict standards.
The Aussie Outback is truly one of the world’s most spectacular places. It was simply amazing. Camping in perfect conditions, with the clearest star filled skies we have ever seen.
Arriving safely in Sydney was a great end to journey of a lifetime…
To Kev (in the 4×4 vehicle) thank you for all your help and congratulations for driving from B to A!
To all those who put the extra effort in, Thank you!
Karen and Will
