Frances and Denis McFaul

It wasn’t until we arrived home and I summarised for a friend what we got up to on the trip that the experiences of the whole journey really sunk in. When you’re on the go you don’t often have time to reflect. This is essentially what I told her:

“Where else do you get the chance to drive around the outback in a 4 wheel drive bus pulling a trailer containing all of your food and drink supplies; kitchen equipment, tables; chairs and even a chainsaw for cutting wood. We saw many gorges; did a fair bit of walking; sat around the campfire at night having all sorts of discussions; met people from all walks of life; avoided the cows in the campground (on the way to the toilet in the middle of the night); had a formal night – ladies take your tiaras; looked at a $300000 pink diamond ring and other expensive jewellery; drank rum at a Hoochery (distillery); saw millions of stars; checked out the native flora and fauna; were evacuated from a campground because of a fire; flew over Mitchell Falls in a plane; flew over the Bungle Bungles in a helicopter; cruised a couple of gorges; camped on a cattle station; crossed many rivers and creeks; swam in rivers, creeks, gorges, hot springs and under waterfalls; slept in a swag in tents; watched many sunrises and sunsets; and had a great time. That’s the Adventure Wild experience all in 12 days. Thanks Adey and Kappo for a wonderful holiday”.
