Lost in the mist
We did survive our 4000 km long trip from Melbourne VIC to Manjimup WA, which has been truly a remarkable trip. There is too much to say concerning this, especially now that we only have very limited Internet time. All we’ve had enough for is to just check our e-mails but not write anything. Sorry ’bout that!
This is just one of all the pictures I’ve taken through our six-days-journey. When we left the desert, the Nullarbor Plain, I did have a few tears in my eyes because I did not want it to end. That journey. Did not want to leave the Nullarbor, this spectacular scenery nor the great people living in the middle of nowhere.
One town we visited for fuel is called Madura. In Madura there are only six inhabitants. Then you probably understand how far from everything and everyone it is.
Today I began one of my new jobs. This one only last until tomorrow. On Wednesday I start my new career as a pruner which feels quite amazing. Really looking forward to it.
Please take care of you and don’t forget to drop by, promise I’ll update although I may not be available to write everytime.
Love makes the world go round.
Path to somewhere
A year ago has passed since this picture was taken at one of the most sunny days I had in Melbourne. It’s an alley way near Swanston and Bourke Street. Remember how I was strolling around alone, just observing people and buildings, looking for life when I stumbled upon this alley.
Found this picture today in my archive, hidden for so many months and its meaning is so clear to me now. To me it resembles different stages of our lives, or the different choices we make every day. How we can change the way we live only by our choices, minds. In order to live the life we want, that we dream of and at times really need!
How one got to fight in order to get to our very own and personal paradise. Sometimes we walk through shattered glass, naked with our bare feet bleeding, just to look back and realize how far one have come and from this place one can see a bit of the paradise. Your own and personal paradise.
Enjoy the peaceful moments
Miss Lazy – also known as Ashley – is one of the stars we are gonna miss when we leave Point Cook. More updates tomorrow because after that we’re going to Western Australia. I have a grand plan which involves blog posts every day although I’m not going to be online. As I wrote, details in tomorrows blog post!
Love Ken
Having fun, eh?
These last few days I’ve been a bit cut off from the world outside of Point Cook. Lots of planning with our 3500 km trip that we had scheduled for today, though circumstances change and so does our planning. We needed two new tyres to our v-dub Herman the German, which haven’t been easy to find. That question was resolved today, when we meet with Nick in Melbourne.
An awesome guy with a real sense of humour, a beautiful wife and adorable kids. It was so nice seeing a VW-fanatic once again!
I’ve also been working on Herman, because there was this noise that came from the rear. Of course things happens just before you are about to start the journey. Well, rather now than later when we are on the Nullarbor Plain. Google that, and you’ll see what we’re up against. Desert is probably a mild word. In latin Nullabor means “no-trees” which might explain it a bit. Click here for our travel map.
The last weekend we catched up with Josh and Cassidy whom I photographed a few weeks ago. Look at this post. This weekend they had reinforcement by their brother Luke who is in this picture. We had so much fun and I took an insane amount of pictures considering we only met them for a few hours.
Well well, the pictures will end up here eventually. Depending on how curious you readers are. That was a summary of my last few days, but please tell me, how have you been?
Unknown road ahead of us
Today we did actually find some fruitpicking work in a small town called Manjimup in Western Australia, only 4500 km away. In about one week we’ll begin our journey but first we have to get some big water containers, two new tires and enjoy our last few days in Melbourne together with our lovely Jen.
More about this in a few days time! However, if you are interested to see the road we’re going, click here for Google maps. As you probably can see on the map, there is a pit stop in a town called Coober Pedy… It’s a special place where people live underground due to the constant heat in the desert. Interesting place to photograph? I would guess so!
Good night to you all and stay happy. Also thanks alot for reading my blog. I really appreciate it.
