The Prado - what a beautiful machine

Big day today. Mount Isa through to Katherine. Just under 14 hours on the road. The pint at the local Katherine Club was very nice. Have clocked up 3118km in 3 days towing a tonne worth of camper trailer and in that whole time have been overtaken by only 2 cars on the NT open road. I love my Prado more every day!

Another fantastic day of driving. The trip across the Barkley Highway from Camooweal was stunning for its desolateness. Extraordinary to look 360 degrees and see open grass plains all the way to the horizon. Barely a tree to be seen.





Have seen roos, emus, dingos and managed to miss them all. Apart from a few less-than-wise owls camped on the white line in the middle of the road, we have managed to not add too much to the road kill.

Darwin tomorrow. Kids the next day. Can't wait.

    Come on, Rosie! Your average speed is only 51.8 km/hr at this point. What's with the dawdling? Great vicarious entertainment, keep it up. Baldy

    I remember 360 degree panoramic views with the two of you somewhere else - it was Karumba after Susan had opearted on Courtney and Linda and I went out from town to destress and look at the stars! Sounds like a good start to the trip. Take care Michael
