They will be leaving from Perth but I will be leaving from Darwin, they did offer to fly me but I will have my new car by then and it should be a great trip. May even try and take my dogs but know some places like Uluru I will not be able to take them.
that pic reminds me of an old joke, not directed at you mate,
a man walks into the docs office with a parrot on his head, the doc says what can i do for you today, and the parrot says "can you remove this growth from my claw".
