Hanne DIDN'T kill a kangaroo

You didn't see that one coming did ya?

As you can read (I do hope you can read), Julie and I are back in civilization (well.. back to a place with Internet anyway..). We arrived in Brisbane this afternoon and are leaving again in a day, and a couple for hours, for a two week adventure in Japan. I know I have to blog about Bourke now or I'll never have the time to do it, but I just don't know where to start.

How about starting with the beginning? We left early Sunday morning to meet our bus at South Bank. Ahead of us was a 12 hour bus ride, and what a ride. Anni Cooper (our contact in Brisbane and current mum) told us to drink a lot because of the dry heat we would experience, and it seemed the Norwegian gang listened for once. What goes in comes out and so forth... Let's just say we stopped a lot.

Julie slept (at least part of the time) and I listened to music, looked out the window and was used as a foot rest for some German guy (His name is Philipp and he turned out quite nice).

After visiting all the petrol stations from here to Bourke (and after a nice lunch at Subway in Moree), we arrived about 6 in the evening at Kidman's Camp. I befriended a spider the size of my palm, we had supper and went to bed at a quarter past nine.

And with that note on our first evening in Bourke, my time is up and Julie is eager to get food. I will try to drag her back here later (not that she will mind) and maybe I can do some more updating.
