There are at this moment in Charleville, the mayor of this city 'hosting in his home,' an honor for him (so he says), a big barbecue for us. but we start from where we left off. After visiting the pinnacles of Cervantes in Western Australia, guidance and leadership we have entered in the state of South Australia in Adelaide where, beautiful home town of Grand Prix Formula 1 until a few years ago, I Daniel, unfortunately I have taken a fine for ban parking here if Sgarro, pay once, but nothing bad, and the problem 'was risoloto now. A 50 note Australian dollar has solved the Australian dollar problema.I are not paper but plastic, so if you forget it in your pocket in the washing machine, do not turn white. (a note of thanks to marzio pelu, who informed the newspaper of the Italian Australian in Melbourne of our raid) We were running on the globe, read by thousands of Italians in Australia and who knows maybe we `become a bit famous here in the land of kangaroos. I found the first few days but then the rain and up to now no more '. From Adelaide to the scattered village of just 100 inhabitants, the street and 'dirt and attention in guiding and' double but were even more 'in nature, Luck wanted that 3 nights ago, we witnessed all'eclissi full moon . The stars because of total darkness in the sky have given us a unique spectacle! At night in tents or in camp or in the forest free, Donato, with his little video dvd player, showed me some film, at least not soon asleep. Federico and 'the name of this boy of Torino that we met along our journey, the fearless, is' taking the oodnadatta road cycling, from Adelaide to Ayers rock, we wish him a good journey. In the morning we find ourselves surrounded by kangaroos, just that we see the damage to the legs jumping off. We also met a road train of 4 trucks for a total of approximately 60 meters but never as the train carrying coal from Leight creek to Adelaide, the most 'along the southern hemisphere, and we' past and ended in front of more 'with its 158 wagons with a total length of 2.8 kilometers. For a couple of times we stopped on the road in pursuit of lucertoloni that you do not want to be photographed. From time to time we stop to play pool in the Roadhouse that are here and there along the road are sometimes .. This is the usual meeting with updates on the raid Australia. Given that I was in Australia 15 times already and this' the sixteenth, I know very well, I visited places that even the Australians know how to Windham or Cununurra, surrounded by water crocodiles dolce.Ogni time asking for an Australian where and ', he responds with the name of region, type, are qeenslan or Victoria, but my question more' specific, they tell me Near Melbourne brisbane or close to, but I repeat, I want to know the name of the city or exact country, and regularly, once had the answer, replied with a Ha, I was there. But back to our raid, after Charleville, wonderful place where we also attended the Catholic mass with the mayor, who has hosted for a night, too, here in Australia we have become famous because of the two articles made by the Italian daily newspaper The Globe.
We are already 'in Qeensland, where the region have been shot the scenes in the movie Bird cloudberries, and region of birth of Steve Irwin, the famous Australian documentary that took in hand every type of animal and insects, fish, 2 years ago and' died after being a point of Breed at sea. here we were almost in the state funeral for him. Just started from Charleville, in the morning at eight, on the way a family of kangaroos jumping greets us, but unfortunately 'the hundreds of their peers drawn to the edges of the road, seen throughout the trip, were not so happy during the night, with the headlights of cars and trucks, not moving more 'and BOOOMMM. Arrived in Brisbane, after days and days free in a tent in Bush, we rely in sixth and get ready for 5 days of relaxation Islands Vanuatu to 3 hours of flight in the Pacific. There are more 'stipetti in the airport where you could put your suitcases locked, Bin laden has forbidden. We are forced to take flight on Virgin pacific, all Luggage including 2 mattresses. At this moment Donato and myself we are on the fifth day of Vanuatu, on the day of departure for the return to Australia in Brisbane. We discovered that there is' a market here in Port Vila (the capital) to sell fruits and 24 out of 24 fish, in fact three quarters of local people come from other small islands of the archipelago and sleeping on the floor behind the counter of their sales , only half an hour ago I Donato and so we 'decided to give our 2 mattresses 2 of them, certainly those mattresses are more' useful to us here and also because for the remaining days of our raids in Australia sleep in small hotels. But talking about these fabulous islands of Vanuatu dall'occhio tourists: In addition to the helicopter ride on the volcano on the island of Tana, here you can make excursions and tours, for a whole week. We have done a tour in the jungle for 4 hours in the jungle with QAD, a 4-wheel motorbike, then climbed back up the river in a canoe with lacqua clear, visited the Falls blue with a formidable vegetation. People here and 'very friendly and all the way to greet you. On the next inhabitants of Vanuatu jump from 'high with the feet tied at 2 liane, the original bungee jumping, but do not use the elastic. The sea and 'crystal clear and full of coral, and yesterday I Donato we immersed with the cylinders, and what we saw and' incredible fish of many colors in a 28 degrees, barracuda and turtles. Here is the only post office with a mailbox in the world. I also fell for a inbucarne for my close friend Casalmaggiore. These are Castolin with printed stamp and the ink is not removed even if they are underwater. Conclusuione, Vanuatu Islands are very beautiful and most hospitable of the other islands I visited, such as Fiji, Micronesia, New Caledonia and so on. Here are the electric current with the wind turbines and respect nature, there are many embassies and even the lady Teresa The Italian consul. About twenty residents are Italians who live here and have some business. But now there lasio, including some 'let's go to the airport for the flight of 15 for Brisbane, the next will be' the last chapter of this journey. totally dispersed hundreds of kilometers from the town near the more tours and 'finished, the bikes were perfect, we are me and Donato at the Port of Brisbane container ships, where we packed the bikes and shipped in containers which arrive after 1 months a livorno Italy, hopefully not with a month's delay as it was last year from China. A brief summary of the 9950 km facts. The parties most 'beautiful when desert nell'outback, we camp in the wilderness outside the camps, Donato has brought with it an instrument that I ever used in my travels, in the evening darkness in a tent watching the video discs with a DVD player with small screen. For the duration of the film we were not in Australia, but then the sounds of crickets and night birds there that we were mended in the land dell'ornitorinco. On roads not paved must keep a certain distance, not to receive stones throw from the front wheel of the bike, fortunately the kangaroos we were away so avoiding catastrophic falls. But they are biricchini because 'leaving only the night on the road.
