the Murray River in Mannum (9 - 01/12/2009)


Now we watch so the Murray River, on whose shores we settled down the night before. Early on the morning of the sound can be heard by a lively boat traffic. Scarcely left our abode, we can already see the first sport boats with water sports (water skiing or wakeboarding) in tow around on the jet flow. As a regular water-driving on the lake, it itches quite beautiful in their veins, finally something to do again! Finally, it was August, when the last time we stood on the stage, for the summer of 2008 in Central Europe was known to be much too short!

After a leisurely breakfast we explore the small village in the (now dominant) High Season all of the water-sports enthusiasts seems to be taken. We want to know where you can live as a guest of the activities of our desire. The local information center is allowed to us to know that there is an organizer, and the boat driver is included equipment. You have to know that in Australia the water scene is not like us at Club-organized moderate. As everybody who's doing like, a private boat with equipment! All speak very private and separated. Said organizer is just not present, only the answering machine answers. We keep looking ... and ask about the local boat representative if he would be like if he could. He would, however, can not because his non-boater is out there and only a few days will be on site. It is offered us to rent a boat with equipment for one day, which would cost about 600 AU $. Oh, good heavens, we can book for that amount in Europe for two people during a week of training camp in Italy! It appears that the world is not at all well with us and my slowly makes itself felt a certain disappointment wide. It is probably at the scene, where's all do what he does himself happy, but one can not, because no one seems to listen to our wishes? So we spend the day trying to sit on the bank, watching a bit of shopping essentials and to be careful that not even frustration arises.
shall deduct one days into the country, which one would really like to design more active. Since our used clothes seems to slowly take the upper hand and also the beds once again by the smell and the remains of the great outdoors will be free, we decide to go to the local campground for the purpose of handling general laundry work. All evening we are busy trying to refresh our "stöffigen" companion. Not so easy, because you at local campgrounds - can only wash with cold water - as we did not quite say without anger. Not really a hit, for stubborn dirt travel, can be to eliminate hardly satisfactory. So we spend much of the evening time trying to keep the machine going and it with dozens of liters of hot water, "black" refill. After all the work cheaper wages: the result of our efforts speak for themselves and even smells uncommonly graceful! :-)

the next day morning we take things comfortably, it can be seen not before 9.00 am outside the car. Then showers and eating times pleasant tomorrow. No sooner are the culinary belongings on the table is already camping neighbor Mr. angetigert and asked about the basis of our license plate on the car, whether we could now actually from the north of the continent up here deep in the South are down (our car is provided with the license plate NT for "Northern Territory") and what we look for in heaven's here on the Murray River? First, we clarify that we are not Australians (our car without owner you realize the advertising that is thankfully not!) And from the area here are incredibly impressed by the river, which seems to impress the Lord to the 60 tremendously. It is further stated that we are looking for a way to do water sports, even though we had no boat and no boards there. And be boats raise and driver for "Otto-Normal-earning ratios" practically impossible.

The gentleman from Adelaide, of about 20 years since his summer holiday in the said camp and therefore spends almost every knows that walking around here, they will take our need to immediately and assured us that he would definitely find someone who could give satisfaction to our desires!

He was right, a half hour later, we have the desired contact to be a holiday spent with family sports boat, offering us your Zugsdienste. How come we buckle up after lunch and wakeboard vest and let us move along the river by the fresh water. How wonderful it is to enjoy this wonderful area to flow on the wakeboard, and tensions in the sporting the muscle to feel!

After a long round on the water, we begin the early evening with a relaxing aperitif in the river, where we watch the last activity on the water. Then makes hungry, so we soon see the next barbecue and cook the well-earned dinner. We get to know Uwe, who with his partner Judith already about the 3rd Time Australia visited. They live just around the corner, namely in Ueberlingen or Friedrichshafen, just above the Lake Constance. After dinner we spent a very pleasant four rounds of red wine and plenty of notice that a lot of interests and views coincide exactly. Already plans are made, in what form you want to meet again at home, whether for biking (Uwe has a mountain lodge in the Vorarlberg Alps) or be it for water sports on Lake Constance.

Oh by the way: before dinner was Jim briefly for a beer on a visit, Jim was the one who pulled us in his boat across the River. He offers us that we - if we would like - the next day, of course, happy to once again allowed to drive a round! Then of course we come back here and spend the next day just like the last one. Comfortably stand up, sit by the river, swim or refreshing swim straight across the river and back and on top of an extensive Round on the water! As the end of the day we come also to enjoy a very nice invitation from Judith and Uwe for dinner, where we charge for fresh salads, grilled beef and a lot of our power again. Thank you both, nice to know you have learned, we look forward to seeing you at Lake Constance and / or on the biker Hütt'n (see, http://blog.ozmania.de).

And so the days go by on the Murray River as in flight. A rewarding, varied and, above all, sporting action. Far from the usual with Australia's arid or semi-arid lands and endless ocean beaches and cosmopolitan big cities. A river landscape with green Banks and a lot of house boats that are comfortable chugging upstream-and down the road and enjoy the tranquility of the longest and most important river in Australia. Its shores are lined with water from the green, a little further, in stark contrast to the dry, almost steppe-like landscapes, marked by long dry periods. Precious is the water of the Murray, has a vast region of South Australia (including a large portion of the lower city of Adelaide) are supplied with drinking water and be responsible is that thrive in many places, cornfields and orchards.

And so we move on the morning of 12.01.2009 on. Away from the reaches of the Murray River, whose existence we have enjoyed and whose waters are much Has prepared for fun. We continue our route to the Great Ocean Road, the most photographed coastal region of Australia. We hope for good weather, we know that the situation in the south coast - along the Great Ocean Road - can be incredibly unstable, and clouds. Let's hope for good weather and that you are again with us. Thank you for your being there - and the really very pleased - and see you soon!

Stomach Flu In Kitchener

Adelaide (7 - 8.1.2009)


late afternoon meeting of 07/01/2009 So we are a in Adelaide. Before we provide, we already stuck in the middle of the city. Not quite as far as sweeping access roads in Perth - European halt - but also no chaos as seen in major European cities, unfortunately, often encounters. Despite numerous traffic lights's stuck anywhere.

we are vested by the city traffic and on the passenger seat, there's even an opportunity for candid photography. After a turn, "sau-long" day trip we keep straight course to Glenelg, a suburb by the sea. Time to get out and drink comfortably to work day an aperitif. On the way across town to the sea we are in search of a suitable Area for future overnight lookout. Arrive between the tennis and cricket club's beautiful screened a small public parking under tall trees. A not inappropriate place, we find!

Glenelg is in Adelaide as a "model district" right at the beach. There are numerous apartment houses, where are the "Servelat celebrities" come together. To our taste it has consumed there something much more concrete, and the oversized block may lack a certain comfort. Nevertheless, we find in the bustling pedestrian area a nice place for a drink of white wine. After several days, 2,000 km Travel section then it tastes especially good! On your first evening we let it go well for us and treat us weeks're planning a really delicious Italian pizza. After a leisurely evening at the scene of Glenelg we drive through the night of the Adelaide metropolitan area to our previously reconnoitred place to sleep, undisturbed slumber where we meet the next morning.

It is an early reveille on the agenda: we must bring our car to the previously agreed service. At times we make in the morning traffic on the workshop, which can be found in view of the chessboard-like layout of the city easily in conjunction with suitable maps. In general, the orientation – wie schon in Perth – einfach und man findet sich schnell zurecht. Nicht zuletzt auch dank des perfekt funktionierenden „Navigationssystems“ auf dem Beifahrersitz! So liefern wir den Land-Cruiser zum Service ab und machen uns per Bus auf den Weg in die Innenstadt. Mitten drin werden wir abgesetzt. Die perfekte Tageszeit – morgens um 9.30 Uhr – durch die City zu schlendern. Angenehme Temperaturen und angenehm frequentiert.

Adelaide, die Hauptstadt des Bundesstaates „South Australia“ mit 1,4 Mio Einwohnern gilt als die europäischste aller australischen Städte. Und zwar nicht wegen ihres Grundrisses, sondern durch das europäisch geprägte Flair von Einwanderern Ende des vorletzten Jahrhunderts. Above all, German (or East Germans), Italian, and British immigrants of the city have left the stamp. So there are many churches that were created in the traditional architectural styles of the "old days". The plan of the inner city is the way a geometrically perfect square. All lateral boundary lines, the North, South, East and West Terrace are exactly one mile long. In between are the "block system" is also measured with a ruler.

After a leisurely Flanierrunde by shopping malls, cafes and street entertainers passages it quick lunch and we have to pick up our traveling companion of the inspection. Everything works perfectly; Landi gets new oil, a new oil filter and new brakes on the front axle. The bill is paid by the landlord. It fits. Now, again individually motorized

we cross again to the city. After the fun at the shopping mall after all we want to see some more of the city. At first it draws us into the Botanic Garden, a far-sweeping green belt, which breaks up the concrete canyons extremely pleasant. At the Torrens River, which flows through the middle of Adelaide, we enjoy the beautiful views of the city and it is looking for the best location for the imaging documentation. Then it's off to Montefiore Hill, where a statue of Colonel Sir William Light watches over the city. Sir W. Light founded the city in 1831 on behalf of the British crown and named it after the name of his wife. He was also the one who was responsible for the perfectly designed floor plan symmetry.

After - by our standards! - Quite intensive Stadttag we go to the aperitif to North Adelaide is discussed where the additional time and route planning. We are unanimously of the opinion that the big-city lust is already satisfied. It pulls us back into lonely, less bustling areas ..., some place far away from the city noise.

serious research, we know from that in the hinterland of Adelaide's Murray River, the longest 650 km and most important river of Australia, his path to the south runs. Not far from our route planning to the southeast there's even a corner, where extensive water sports should be run. By late afternoon we spontaneously on the way there, Adelaide be in the rearview mirror snap, on Mt Osmond the last pictures, which passes through show the city go with their extensive suburbs in the evening haze and ... along a hilly landscape with cornfields and cattle pastures, interspersed with clumps of trees and scrub, the river of the Murray opposed. Our goal is called Mannum, a small town on the River. With the retro Zugfähre as an attractive bridge replacement, we use in light of the sun's last rays over the river and relate on a simple neighborhood place under trees on the waterfront. Exactly how it was in the spiritual idea about set on the banks deal ... there are numerous recreational craft, which suggests active water sports. Then we will be curious if we are to benefit from sporting activity. Hope we do it anyway!

Cape Le Grand NP & the Nullarbor Plain (1st - 01/07/2009)


Esperance & Cape Le Grand NP

On the evening of New Year's Day reach we are after a 560-km stage the place Esperance, starting point for the nearby Cape Le Grand NP. As already hinted at taking the country can claim "home of Australia's best beaches" to be, which means that there will be few places in this country these pearls of beautiful beaches. A glance at the accompanying picture makes this claim seem quite credible, right?

We spend a night in Esperance, because we have to do the next day, a few things. Visit to the Visitor Centre to obtain any documents and information to Cape Le Grand NP, sensing of road conditions, we must fill the fridge and our mobile Subset required for well traveled 10,000 kilometers little supply of oil and brake fluid. After a quiet night on the grounds of the local football pitch, all things done in time the next morning. Ca. 1 week, we will hardly have possibilities for shopping and the like. After visiting the Cape Le Grand NP's is not a ending line border eastwards to Adelaide across the Nullarbor Plain-, 2,000 km across the Eyre Highway. As an introduction, so to speak as a connection to this stage crossing street, waiting for a 200 km long 'Krüppelweg "on us. Since one wants to be but well prepared. For details, but later.

From Esperance in the Cape Le Grand NP is accessible via a beach slopes. Four-wheel vehicles can travel 22 km along the beach and then directly reach the entrance to the park an attractive alternative to the optional 65 km asphalt. Although we had already experienced several beach trips is that of probably the best so far. Hard to put into words, if one goes along for half an hour 2 m from the gently surging waves, with the truly crystal clear ocean to land. Once again, the photo gallery will be an expression of the picturesque scenery.

The Cape Le Grand National Park is a symbol of a symphony of color special: five gleaming white beach coves, surrounded by gray-brown granite and green Heath vegetation, in which propagates a turquoise ocean. We go to the park and discover by and by the just described bays. The jaw drops us almost off its hinges. What moves in front of our lens, which is seen so far - and is not intended to sound derogatory! - Truly in the shade. In nature, it is even more beautiful than the pictures reflect. A world, as we have previously known almost exclusively of model-table books. Simply fabulous!

control We slowly to the campsite at the Lucky Bay, the largest bay. Sandra ordered mind ever open seats, because we know we are not the only ones on a cookie squint in paradise. Their hurried prayer should be heard; discover hardly run in, we are the last free corner, we take the fitting in quickly. A full day and one night we have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of our environment. Even semi-tame kangaroos with young in the pouch come to visit. A small petting zoo just outside the front door!

the late afternoon the following day we make our way slowly. Although we would have liked to stay longer, we must be careful in view of the unfortunately limited time budgets on finishing our tour of Australia at the pre-planned location. We deliberately do us for the route lying ahead of us enough time to leave.

goes to and through the Nullarbor Plain

Continue's to the adjacent Cape Arid National Park, where we stop for a night stopover . This quiet neighborhood is perfect to complete the journey Administration! :-) The next morning a

tingling thing in store for us. Rather than take a long detour to the Eyre Highway - this is the road that leads by 2,000 km across the semi-desert (Nullarbor Plain) and connects Norseman in Western Australia to Adelaide in South Australia - We choose the shortest route. Short but hard to say! 200 km on the Balladonia Track abeam through the bush, over sand, mud holes, creek-like scree slopes, vast forests and a lot of dry dust washboard roads. Not only the driving machine has to suffer, especially the co-driver can feel the adrenaline as the Landi scrapes in slope by the numerous mud puddles. Sometimes the terrain is so rocky and hard again, that only the 1st and 2 Gang is thriving. One side is too steep and too fast approached the stone is safe tire stop. And a long, complicated, stressful and in the middle of nowhere held wheel change we certainly want us ! Save
with increasing route length, the slope a little better or a little wider and you can tend to drive the optimal line. However, the surface of massive grooves passes through the chassis and worked hard. We have had a cloud of biting is fine, penetrating dust everywhere (Bulldust). After 4 hours we reach the junction to the Eyre Highway: at last tar! Indemnify and safely brings us "our horse" to the next roadhouse. There, it means increased tire pressure (followed by tons-km asphalt!), Drink a little beer and some food. Once again, we are of the off-road qualities and the reliability of our vehicle impressed. Madness what the crate must put up with, let alone what you can do so on the ground all that! :-)

Now we are on the infamous road, 2,000 km through the nothingness between Western and South Australia. The Eyre Highway crosses the Nullarbor Plain called, whose name derives from Latin and means "no trees". It is one of the largest and most karst areas in the world. Completely devoid of trees but is only the core area of this region, located north of the road. Otherwise grow on the extensive Kalktafel next bushes and low eucalypts and acacias. Cause of the sparse vegetation and crippled, the porous limestone, in which the rain water seeps immediately. The seemingly endless plane ends abruptly at the cliff, the about 70 - 100 m drop in the great Australian Bight. This sea is part whereabouts of right whales, which come from the cold Antarctic waters here in order to mate in these warmer waters, and the young are born.

We take a meditative journey eastward to attack. Sleepy desert left and right of the asphalt strip, a tough running odometer, music from Abba to Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen to Udo Jürgens in the iPod, to which we eagerly sing along and we replace at regular intervals from the cab.

In Area of the Bunda Cliffs, the landscape is more diversified, because you can see from the highway directly to the deep blue ocean and again leads to random streets viewing platforms. Often we turn to us to stretch your legs, marvel at the view and let the fresh salty sea breeze refreshing. Camped somewhere in the bushes near the road or at an abandoned farm (on the night, then showed up a whole flock of sheep - super) ... and in the morning's next. Way to start the day during 96 hours with the way he left off: Drive, drive, drive, fill up, drive, fill up and so on. So we roll, writing in the passenger seat (like right now, where this Lines arise), card reading, calculate distances, or photographing, singing, eating and drinking, steering on the driver's cab, gas-holding, with foresight, also sing along, the fuel gauge-monitoring and sometimes eating and drinking, Adelaide contrary.

With every mile, which is behind the counter is tougher and tougher! Dozens of times, the sounds turn the iPod up and down. Several times, the power inverter giving his charge and the batteries of the laptop.

And then varied the landscape to Port Augusta at last, the road winds through mountains and cornfields. After the endless straight sections, we take the winding route grateful under the wheels. Finally, show the signs for the Barossa Valley, the world famous wine region, north of Adelaide. Influenced primarily by German immigrants. The surroundings are increasingly sweeter. Bright yellow grain fields and vineyards and carefully maintained throughout drumrum manorial estates. Even well-known and especially well-known name badges lined the streets through the green Barossa Valley ... to

... until we finally enter our dirty hard dwelling in Adelaide and are glad to have brought the longest of all stages safely behind us. First we will consider the most European of Australian cities will become more accurate and Landi Service must. The rest will follow soon in this theater! Take care and see you soon!

How To Hack Poptropica On Mac

Albany area (26 - 31/12/2008)


After the eventful days under the canopy of the eucalyptus forests and the sand dunes of the Warren-, respectively. D'Entrecasteaux NP's draws us back to the sea. We are approaching the largest city in the southern region of Western Australia, Albany. A provincial town off the beaten track, with about 25,000 inhabitants. Drum around a varied and very attractive Coastal area. Wide-sweeping white sandy beaches lined with colossal granite rocks and to some brutal surf waves of the South Pacific.

is the first so-called Green pool on the approach route. A granite rock, of course, protected basin. Upstream rock slows the roaring ocean, a picture book-like pool area. Unfortunately, our arrival time to move on time heavy clouds on the cover and in any case not very abundant warm sunshine. Joining them will be a fresh wind. A meteorological conglomerate, which offers not just the swimwear! For this, we explore a broad coastal walk, the bizarre rock and beach scenery. Extremely impressive: the elephant as the rushing water in spite of granite blocks. Not without justification, they carry due to size and shape of the term "Elephant Rocks"!

the late afternoon of 12.26.2008, we reach the vicinity of Albany, where the characters of the guide to a beautiful camping area to point directly to the sea. We follow the long-drawn lines across the cow pastures and will find them. A protected behind dunes covered court, idyllic, but Rammel full. Disappointed but not discouraged, we take the sandy track along the coastal belt. Not far from an overgrown dirt road branches off on the sandy slopes. We are a turn, with the jolt of Landi wurzlig-sandy terrain and discover behind thick bushes a nice place surrounded by greenery. We look forward to a relaxing evening in the dense grassland. Unfortunately, the weather makes a spanner in the works: As soon set up, it starts to rain. Persistent drizzle at just 20 degrees. Not exactly the ideal weather for a nice evening camping in the desert scrubland. Well, we are obliged to us in the "living room" to stay put.

explore A day later, we discover the surrounding environment and a much more optimal space than those of the Guide was mentioned. Facing the sea, with shady trees and barbecue areas, and while no official campsite, but in many tent campers and travelers fitting. This time it'll work right away and we will find a sheltered corner on the so-called "Cosy Corner", which we collect revenue times over a large area for us. It is set up, raised plastic pergola comfortable and relaxed. We decide for a few days the beautiful place and speak in front of the "front door" to enjoy the sea beyond. In any case, we want to spend not miss the upcoming New Year's Eve dinner somewhere in the desolate stretch ahead of us through the "Nullarbor" semi-desert along the road and so we will stay until the next day of the year in the area. Overall We spend three nights at the "Cosy Corner" and perfected in our facility every day. Among other things, there's even a private car next to the shower with hot water! The water bulging shower bag is the day for hours at heated by the sun bonnet, in the evening hung on a tree, and the shower area from the eyes of envious court comrades with bath towels "bunkered" takes a shower so it is especially under a stream of warm water, the sand remains Wellenschwimmerei of the body!

weather is seen not the usual fair-weather resistance: sometimes clouds, especially in the morning and evening and temperatures if it comes up just 25 degrees to achieve. Also unusual for this area. During our stay at Cosy Corner, however, we are particularly lucky and spoiled the day with sufficient sunlight.

makes the day 4 of our being responsible Ranger an "order-inspection" and told us kindly that this place was not really meant for camping. We should not hesitate to evacuate the evening our deposit. A dozen other campers, some with elaborately decorated tent sites, suffer the same fate. Thus we are taken the decision to extend all necessary ... again - good, otherwise we would probably still there ... ;-)

how we make our way to Albany in the city. There we already have our battery supply for refrigerator and room light checked. She appears at the end. So it is explained to us the professional and exchanges them. After only fifteen minutes, and simple replacement program we have of court and may be re-round care. Then it continues on the eastern side of town, where there is also admire a magnificent coastline on the "Two Peoples Bay. By late afternoon we arrive there and heading straight towards the "Little Beach". How about the name implies, a small state, but a fine! A perfectly curved bay, bounded on both sides with large rock formations, dazzling white sand and all around a lush green vegetation. A beautiful color tone and a dream of a bay. We believe for a moment in the South Seas! After a small aperitif-hump on the granite rocks, we meet a young man, a freshly caught fish would return the life ... - it's Charles, the gentleman from Bavaria has received from an Aussie fresh, self-caught fish he wants to cook for dinner. The fish had mentioned in a plastic bucket gezappelt half, so he wanted to return to the ocean. But it was only the last nerve strikes, the thing was dead and ready for the frying pan. We exchange a few words spontaneously and agree to jointly cope with the fresh catch for dinner. After a short time the fish is already sizzling in the pan, topped with all sorts of spice scents. And indeed, tastes great and incredibly fresh, really healthy! Fresh fish straight from the sea and we sit in a comfortable four-lap in the car park above the Little Beach. How simple life can be but, just wonderful!

The following days are spent with Charles and Petra. Once a leisurely bath day in the beautiful bay and tags on it already the last day of the year 2008 is on the calendar, where we have set out to eat dinner in Albany together what and to celebrate a little end of the year or beginning of the year.

On 31.12.2008 we are traveling alone during the day and still have administrative things to do. Shopping, Internet and email, etc. The weather will not go along so well. A mix of sun and clouds, too warm for a stroll and (supposedly) too cold to stay in the water. Sandra, however, has seen over the past few days, a sign on the side of the road that says "Water-Ski Club, Albany. With the hope of a wakeboard run their motive for the afternoon is clear: auszufinden the location of this club and make a beeline to go there. So we do it ... Just follow your nose we head into the area of the street sign and turn left at a river mouth clean. After a bumpy few miles we reached the river a place to discourage Famillie "Aussie" just water ski training. After an uncomplicated, as usual, chatting with the players for Sandra's not a wakeboarding but for a ride on the mono-ski! Not bad ... and that on the last day of the year! Unusual, but just right here ;-) photos exist of this action can not, because to get the decision in the boat, would be made quickly. This allows the camera box was in the car .. - Too bad!

evening, after the sporting activities with neat Hunger in the jacket, stroll We feed through Albany with the goal of somewhere nice. A bit of live music, a bit of people on the street, the ladies with color - almost carnival-like! - Fashion aufgezuckert and types, as always in flip flops and shorts! So really fun New Year's Eve wants to be in this atmosphere is not set by us. As usual, the pickling to shut down at half past nine, the kitchen, the food's usually across-trivial manner, Fish & Chips, or any grilled meat. We must consider ourselves lucky that we can still order before kitchen closes ... So after all, still found an opportunity to correct the feeling of hunger. With increasing hours we note that Albany's main street has become a playground for numerous alcohol corpses - 12-Clock-shock of the year but still two hours away and some bars are already closed. Somehow we, the whole thing quite strange, and so before we decide, on the other side of the bay to go to track from where the highly praised the new year with fireworks. And the fireworks are enjoyed as well as marvelous in our "front door", a glass of wine to clink glasses and pretty comfortable on a quiet square. So we are not spectacular but nonetheless unforgettable slipped into the new year.

Well, the easy-going "just has the other side. So you loose here deal with all that so little style you put in the public life of the day. That we may seem alien and strange and yet sometimes we have to accept the live style of the locals. In most cases, will profit from them so extensively. Other countries, other customs!

Simultaneously with the beginning of the year we embark on a new target. To the east, we follow the coastline of the continent. Esperance is called the corner, which claims to "Home of Australia's best beaches" to be. What we expect is that? Next time we know more! Goodbye and good start into 2009!
