Good news. That's what you expected so there are no nasty surprises. We're out of here in the morning- see you in a couple of weeks.

Don't mention the war!

This is the road to Darwin in 1929 and 1995. Even during the war (woops!)
it was a matter of following the telephone poles along the track.



And now some parts have no speed limits.


The road followed the telegraph line.

Updraught,
If my mention of a FACT is too much for some ......... to handle, then I think they are rather precious. Probably didn't even bother to find out anything about what I said before whingeing!
