Since last I posted:
+Flew from melbournia to adelaideia. only $61AUD! that's like negative in american money!
+Did a three day tour of kangaroo island off of adelaide with four spanish firefighters (no english) and one spanish police officer (very good english) and now know all kids of bad spanish words. Ornitorrinco!
+Met a crazy brit/australian named Damien in an absurdly complicated attempt to get to Alex's (spanish police officer) mountain bike competition. Fail said attempt. Go to aussie baseball game instead. Good ball, won on a dinger in the top of the tenth.
+Buy a car. 1990 Holden Commodore. Temporary (slowly getting less than temporary) name is 'the commode'. Previous owners had a falling out. Ben and Adam pick up shattered pieces, as well as previous passenger, a Dutch girl named Simone. Ben slowly learns Dutch, preparing for eventual conquest of Dutchland. Hoi!
+Day One, Drive to Alice Springs: Visit thrift store in adelaide, buy ugliest sweater on planet. Drive into night, kangaroo broadsides car. Camp first night in Wilpena Pound (aboveground).
+Day Two, Drive to Alice Springs: Hike in the pound, meet quintessential prospector-looking tour guide named Bryan. Did not hear him say 'Consarnit' or 'Dagnabbit'. Interesting coversation regarding climbing Uluru. Camp in Coober Pedy (belowground). Get opal mine tour from Rick.
+Day Three: Make it to Alice
+Three day tour of Kings Canyon, Kata Tjuta, and Uluru with tour guide Rory.
+Go on a hike with locals west of Alice in the Ochre Pits
+Rent a 4WD, go to Tnorgala (sp?) (Gosse's Bluff), and Palm Valley with Judith and Elizabeth.
Tomorrow, we start a two day drive up to Darwin, and meet up with Katharine in time for a three-day tour of Kakadu starting saturday.
gotta go, interwebs shutting off

I don't know too many people who have bought cars that come standard with one (1) Dutch passenger.
DTYD next weekend. Expect a phone call on speakerphone and a lot of Bombers. I just foresee this being a "really good idea" at some point late one night.
