I cant bring you back

[Dutchy]

[brod]

Never ventured outside the airport

[Iron Fist]

you just want someone to talk to
Ill come as long as you bu me as much west end as I can drink
and we travel in some form of european automobile!

[Jimmy_041]

Better than European Fisty - It is a convertible and you can sit next to the esky and drink as much as you want

[Iron Fist]

I like that alot!
what sort of convertible??

how come you cant give us a lift home??

[Jimmy_041]

There is a tricky right hand turn you need to make across Hwy 1, 500 m past Shell Augusta West...

Jimmy Rule No 1: Long bloody way to A Springs
Jimmy Rule No 2: Next time I consider the drive - refer Rule No 1

Its like a turkey shoot in the dark - sheep, cattle, kangaroos and a frigging camel.......

Which one do I want to cut a steak off for dinner after I try to kill myself

One very funny moment:

There are signs with Beware and this one had a picture of a cow and a sheep - there were 2 sheep huddling under the sign trying to get out of the rain....they must have kicked the cow out of the space

I nearly missed it - had to change the Slim Dusty CD at the critical moment

THe last time I drove to Alice Springs, in 1990, I was a young 18 year old doing the long trip for the 1st time and getting the lecture from the old man about wild life etc.
I left Morphett Vale at about 1.00am and arrived in the Alice at 9.30 that night ( a blow out before Erldunda and an ex girlfriend who went 70kms past a turnoff) .
Did the trip in 15 hours on return, and not once did I come across any active wildlife on the highway in either direction.
I only saw 1 dead roo on the road the entire trip too, which I managed to run over.
Those cattle grids I remember all too fondly as well all 765 of them !

[A Mum]

Having lived at Ayers Rock for 3 plus years have done the Alice Springs to Adelaide trip many, many times.

You bring back memories speaking of the kangaroos and especially the cows Jimmy !!

Got to love those cattle grids too !!
