Trying to dicate from a motormouth

So A tells me these are the places we are going. The stuart highway (Which runs right up the ass of Australia) is about 1000 kilometers long...at least. and is pure dirt. That should be an eventful drive. a thousand K's of STRAIGHT road.
And Uluru...Sorry, Ayres Rock (people changed the name, i know...what the f**k?!?!)
and the rock itself is 12 kilometers round. So its a MASSIVE rock, in the middle of nowhere. But iv'e seen pics of sunrises and sunsets with Ayres rock in the background and it look AMAZING..Im trying to type real fast to dictate what A is telling me where he wants to take me...yap yap yap.
Darwin? Kakadu? Coober Pedy? Alice Springs? I cant concentrate on this!!!!!!
I'm staring at the screen typing like a madwoman and then he stops talking and looks at me and says "did you get all that?"
I think my ears just started bleeding
peace out.

Thoughts on destinations....

So this pic is what i expect to see a lot of. Yeah, yeah, i hear you think....Your going on a road trip to see lots of bush and stuff through the window of a car.... But that's the whole fun of it! Awesome photos (and videos)of which you will see from yours truly. And i hope i dont meet that angry fella on the way...(The shark) yep...Haha.
A year ago, i went up to my dad's place on the Gold Coast. So we were bikeriding along this cool dirt track and wooden bridges when we just came into this HUGE field and there were all these kangaroos everywhere well....The video explains it.. I tried to get close to them but that was a no go. Anyway, i digress. I do want to see much more of these animals, Plus camels which run around wild in the middle of Oz so i've heard.


Iv'e also started a 'inspiration board' but in a book. Im putting in anything about Australia that takes my fancy. It's starting to look pretty cool.
Till later...
Peace Out.

Which car to choose....

So i was sitting on the lounge last night and it occured to me, 'What sort of car should we get for this trip?"
I thought maybe a station wagon, but this is a car that i want to keep after the trip. And preferably i want a pretty new, used car...If that makes sense.
I contacted Mitsubishi a while ago and asked for a brochure, Which i got but they are so self indulgent in the product and they just went into too much detail about 'what this car can achieve with you' and the specs of the engine which i thought i probably should learn to understand if i am going to choose a car but my female instinct said to me "C'mon, You dont want to know this shit, you just want the pretty car with the air-con and sunroof" To which i agreed and scrapped the mistubishi, only because they didn't include the price of the car in the brochure!! That's right, NO PRICE! So on that reason alone, i chucked the brochure away.
Which brings me to the thought of a little 4WD. The good points of taking a car like this is simple: A 4WD will drive over almost ANY terrain that Australia has to offer (And, If you agree with this, you will know that driving through the tough parts of Australia are like driving a Mini through Satan's backyard.) Plus, There would be enough room to pack all the shit that we need for the trip, on the assumption we will be stopping at night in caravan parks...(Which are dog friedly, a harder concept that maybe i think it is)Then i thought "No, I dont earn that much money and the price of tyres and rego and services for (Hopefully) years to come just outweighs my desire to A) Get a complete bargain B)Spend the money on the upkeep of the car long after we get back from said trip, and finally C)I just couldnt park a 4WD in a carpark with the confidence that i have with a smaller car. And, i am embarrassed to admit, is the biggest influence in my decision to scrap the 4WD.
So i have come to the conclusion!(Thank god, I hear you say)
I was looking on the internet for used cars, and came across one of my favourite cars. (The pic above)
The good points of this car are that it is simply a good car (In my opinion) and this car would give us the perfect excuse of NOT driving through Satan's backyard. It is a comfortable car...and that's it. A V6 would be sufficient enough i would think...
But you see my dilemma....

The point of this blog.

So the point of this blog is to document the road trip i am planning to do... Never done a 'blog' before and it wasn't until i was reading 'cosmo' that i came across other people's blog's. They sounded really interesting and i thought "If i find these people interesting, maybe my road trip will fancy somebody out there in cyber space?"

As you will see, the picture of Australia and i have roughly drawn in where we plan to go. Mind you, the planned route is 'at this stage'. And know that i am fussy and indecisive so the route is subject to change....But that's all the fun of it. (The red line is the route)

Now, The trip isn't for antoher few months but i thought i'd start early and also document the process of finding a car, getting all the stuff needed ect, ect.....
