That's awesome, how did you experience the vastness and heat of the outback? Posted 9 years ago

  I was there for two years, 1989-91, left shortly to renew the visa during that period and was very keen to stay in the outback. Work was easy to find at the time, everybody needed mechanics, even female foreigners :).
  I saw a lot and lived a rather interesting life, learned to change tyres on the roadside, not wheels :) or I learned to eat some bush food, learned a lot about nature and heat and got addicted to the desert. And I drove about 60.000 kms in a old Toyota.. Posted 9 years ago

    Awesome that you're a skilled survivalist. I recently read an article on tourists underestimating the dangers of the outback, hence my question. Posted 9 years ago
