Australia Travelabout

Travelabout

is the name of the company that owns several trucks from 20 seats 4x4 leading tourists around Australia. Booked from Italy, after 15 days and Nando with Emilio in the east of Australia and Tasmania, arriving in flight from Melbourne, and after having slept a night in hostel, with the birth tour that brings us up to 20 days in Darwin in the territories of the north.
The first night we spend in un'ostello along the way and dinner there, while we know some among us: un'americana, 4 Japanese, 2 Swiss, one German, 2 Japanese, Italian and I the other. The guide is Tierry, an Australian who also speaks some Italian and a few words of Japanese.
From the second night then sleep in a tent and sleep with me one of the Japanese dialogue fortunately because he speaks English.
The hours are a lot of trucks but Tierry makes many stops for us to stretch my legs my legs and tell us some things about Australia. I remember a few the Truck Africa I made some years earlier from Kenya to Botswana, but we Quast time indoors with air conditioning .
We visit the park and its canyon Kalbarri, Western Australia is very dry but strangely (and I do not know how we could), most days we had a bath in Canyon after long walks in the sun. Tierry was nice too, once he steered in a field with bushes in pursuit of a kangaroo and many other times he stopped suddenly to catch up to the iguanas and various lizards to take them in hand and show them.
Once the parties to Shark Bay, we camp on the beach, and the next morning I roll my tent, I realized that a poisonous snake was found for the night in the warmth of me, I called Tierry. He took him by the tail without any problems. A Shark Bay, a boat with some of us have made a dive, with the cylinders, I understood to see the whale sharks, fish typical of these areas, which unfortunately was not there that day.
Once in Broome (we were halfway up and at that moment the trip was very exciting even if the Japanese who slept with me still in tents scoreggiare,) one of the Swiss, the heidi, I was asked if he could sleep in a tent with me for the next 10 days. Of course, while Japan's Liberation scoreggione I said so.
Some of us had finished the tour by 10 days and only a couple instead starting from Broome to Darwin. A German with whom I have been tied, I was the company for the remaining days.
Entered now in the green area of our trip is to the north of Australia it rains more. The guide will go on foot to visit the caves with bats, and bathing in rivers were somewhat rare due to the presence of crocodiles in the sea. While in rivers or ponds inhabited by freshwater crocodiles no problem, though they may escape their reach 3 meters in length.
But that evening even though Tierry had dived into the lake no one has followed it a few more meters away from where he swimming, illuminated by the flashlight, you saw several eyes lit coconut.
National Park Karujini, with its canyons and streams is too great, but the temperature of 42 degrees at Tom Price and Marble Bar, was my personal best.
After 5 days off, the pickup truck going in the mud was caught, and, without us down, Tierry has deflated the 4 wheels and took us out, tricks of the trade.
At Wyndham, we visit un'allevamento crocodilian ... very interesting, then we arrive at the park in Litchfield with its beautiful waterfalls. That night a strong rain washes us all and we discover that the tent has small holes where old age enters the water.
The kangaroos escape the next morning to my exit from the tent, just as well that the heat is always present, even if it rains it does not matter.
We enter nell'utimo park, Kakadu, very green and full of crocodiles and water birds, but we did the bathroom in some waterways safe and we also visited the cave paintings.
A Katherine still swimming in the river with the company of good coconut.
Once in Darwin, the end of the journey, we all have a dinner in a restaurant and beautiful clean clothes well, to say that Tierry back in Perth after 3 days.
I also after 3 days of arrival in Darwin have flown away with the Malaysian Airlines via Kuala Lumpur to Rome.
