ODO Update #Final

July 24, 2015Australia, AWC, NSW, QldODO Updateadmin

This Kimberley/Pilbara Trip has finished. The final Odometer milestones were:

Grafton, NSW, 80,000kms (estimate as The Doc is relaxing in Ballina, NSW)
Augathella, Central Queensland, 79,000kms
Boulia (home of the Min Min Light), Outback Queensland, 78,000kms
AWC’s Newhaven Sanctuary, Northern Territory, 77,000kms.

ODO Update #3

July 15, 2015Australia, coastal, Landscape, WAODO Updateadmin

With the return trip under way from Western Australia quite a few kilometres have been travelled in the last 5 days. New milestones include:

AWC’s Newhaven Sanctuary, Northern Territory, 77,000kms;
Erldunda, which is the turn off from the Stuart Highway out to the Olgas and Uluru (Ayers Rock), Northern Territory, 76,0000kms. (Erldunda is 200km south of Alice Springs and you still have a further 245km to drive to Uluru. It is a myth that Uluru is close to Alice Springs, think 425km away!)
Middle of Nowhere (technical term), Great Central Road, WA, 75,000kms
Kalbarri National Park, West Coast of WA, 74,000kms

A few snaps from this time.
