After being back for about a month I have realized that there is no way that I'll be able to tell all my friends and family about all the details of our trip. So, I'll try to write it all down as I remember it. If you are not familiar with what we did; we drove from Broome to Perth in 14 days. It's about 3000km and can be seen here: http://goo.gl/7JKcc . Take a look. Zoom in, you'll notice that there are not a whole lot of roads or cities on our journey. We were literally off the grid. It is a world that is hard to imagine.
Western Australia has 2.2 million people 1.9 of which live in the southwestern corner of the state. That leaves a mere 300,000 for the rest of the state (which is about a third the size of the US).
So, Broome to Perth. Why? People say, "There's nothing on that side of the country." Well that's kinda true. And nothing is beautiful. Really, if you live in a city, you should go out to nothingness. It's incredible. Kangaroos everywhere, cattle farms the size of states, 100s of miles without seeing any structures, highways the width of regular city roads, ants, 6' ant hills, flies, wild peacocks,emus and parrots at the gas station. Just a world you cannot imagine still exists.
