Streaky Baycon

Kippers for breakfast Aunt Helga?

We're in Streaky Bay. We are planing to get a photo of us streaking past the Streaky Bay sign (Oh those crazy neo-hippies)
The Nullarbor was amazing. Vast is the word, Terence survived, he's still ticking over, which is always a plus, seen as we live in him!
They have a massive Great White on display in a petrol station here, caught by a young fella just off the jetty. 5.5m long. It's so meaty... so meaty.
I shaved the beard today.
I cant stroke my chin now when I think, it's actually quite distressing.
I'm currently growing it back as I type. Me and my multitasking eh!?!

I've been out of phone coverage for some time now, and will continue to be for another 3-4days anyway.
To all who may have text recently, I mightn't ever get it as it's been off so long. Sorry!

We caught some fish last night, and we're gonna use them to catch bigger and bigger fish, eventually we'll ride the biggest fish home for free.

OK I better go get out in the sun and rid myself of this strange tan line growing up my face.
be quick.
be smart.
but above all, just be safe.

Trekkin' it

hellllllloooooooooooooooooooooo,
In Esperance at the mo, the last proper town on the track we took west before you meet the baron landscape of South Australia, we've just stocked up on tinned food and the lads are gone fishing for dinner for this evening, BBQ style!
I think I forgot to say that we've got a convoy going on.
We, the three of us, three Scots and two Canadians. Aww yeah bro, two campers and an auld station wagon.
It's great havin the group going together, we have some craic. Nights are spent in the usual manner a mob behaves.
Tis weird seeing all the Xmas things here in the middle of heat, and Halloween was spent outside havin a barbie!
Hope all is well at home, once again I don't have my number,but if you ask around some jokers have it!
MMMmmmmmmm Guinness in the shack.........
Anyway, We've had the pleasure of lasting this long without working, but lately when I go to bed, a claw scrapes the camper window....slowly at first...then picking up speed, a low voice echos: "Get a job you bum"
The low grumble rises to a murmur, and then a full on yell.
You get the message, funds are low, cheap tuna won'd sustain us much longer. Plus you can sing it to your hearts content, but I'm sorry, there is no "Eating and drinking" in beer.
I'm off to eat tuna.
See ya'll reeeeaaall soon

It's not Kansas anymore

Greetings all!
It's been sooooooooo long since i posted ta this.
I've got some silly voucher card in this net place that is gonna kick me off very soon so this'll be short and sweet and sour.
Some bullets:
-got a camper van! pop-top, fridge(which is crap so we store food and plates in there) two hobs and a grill, a sink, two beds(one on hte pop top when its up) its great craic, the engine had a few hiccups but our Scotish friends (we befriended through a common view on a certain country) are great lads as well as mechanics so that put an end ta that! we have laid new carpet, vinyl and painted the inside, we've to do the outside and its finished!
-got a surfboard! a 6'10" for the few who know. I'm not even close to being good enough for this board, but I'll learn!
-Tim has arrived! We collected him oooooooooonnnnnnn Thursday night I think....
-We're heading east! After myself and Smeels doing a trip north up the west coast, we have decided to go across next week to Adelaide, it'll take us a month probably, so I'll be outa contact 'til then, but drop me a line on the Oz number( I don't have it now but a few people around have the number...go ask)
-The west coast rules! We met some crazy surfers, some really cool surfers, a guy who pulled us outa the sand that is really Woody Harrilson we believe. We are having a great time here, drinking, laughing, bit o' music, learning to juggle! Well the other two can, but I'm learning.
So we've decided to leave while it's still sweet.
No real sour news, except maybe my guitar being a bit broken, but it still works so who cares.
No worries mate!
Ok a bell is ringing here so I assume this means I'm outa time....
Well I'll be in touch at some stage.
Awwwwwwwwww yeah bro!
