Trip stories

Where to start?

In the second day of the trip, in Woomera’s campsite:
"While cooking dinner, we met in the kitchen a couple with a dog. They had a camper van and were driving from Adelaide to Alice, Darwin, Perth and back.
Gabi: Wow, that’s a great trip! How long is it gonna take?
Man: Who cares? Maybe 2 months....."

Last day, in an amazing pub in William Creek, where people from everywhere hang at the walls old IDs, flags, hats, bras…
“Gabi: This is a really cool place. How long has it been here for?
Lady from the pub: 30 years now.
Gabi: Awesome. And how many people live in William Creek?
Lady from the pub: Here? 10.”

In between:
- Opal world capital, which has 50% of its constructions underground and probably the same percentage of the flies of the planet;
- 8 km track in the middle of gorges and unexpected waterholes (it has rained 2 weeks before we arrived, what is absolutely uncommon), which took us the whole day to complete as the track got much harder and we would stop, meditate and swim;
- Car breaking down 500 km far from the closest town;
- Ride with a Rottary high school students’ excursion + food (berosidade!) + camel riding for free!
- Walks in Lord of the Rings type of scenarios;
- Alternative dirt road, which permitted us to met the founder of a village and see the most amazing sunset of my life!
