Back from our trek to Perth

We arrived back in Adelaide on Sunday after travelling a total distance of 6,700 kilometres! We had a fantastic time, and camped at some really nice camp sites. All had hot showers available which was refreshing after a day in the car.

Max and Shadow also enjoyed the trip, and as soon as we reached 110 kph, they both fell asleep, and only woke up when we slowed down or drove over cattle grids.

We managed to leave each day by 8am, and reached all but two destinations before nightfall. We thought that we would post a few pictures of some of the sights that we saw along the way. You can click on each picture to view it in a separate window.
