Travelling Post 31 - A continent mastered

It has been over a month since my last update, when I left Melbourne. Over the past month I have been to Adelaide, jumped on a 26 hour train West to the gold mining town of Kalgoorlie, bussed it to South Esperence where I got picked up by a couple of girls, drove to Cape Le Grand National Park, headed to Albany then further West to Margaret River where I am now, working on the vines to save up money again. More on all that in later updates, I'm only using thw internet on weekends at present and this is merely a quick update. An update on the most important event, travelling wise, that has occurred since I first stepped foot on this mighty continent.

On May 24th a single event, with an importance that equals any of the great threequels out at the cinema this year, took place. I reached the most South Westerly point in Australia, the point where two Oceans meet and the point where I crossed a continent, from East to West, via land. Now how many people can say they have done that?

Hi Son,
We thought you weren't going to make us jealous anymore, and there you are boasting about crossing a continent, standing where two oceans meet and getting picked up by not one but two girls, whatever next!! Having said all that we're very pleased to hear that your still working, working, working.
Looking forward to more updates, they're getting a bit thin on the ground, could it be that you are otherwise occupied?
Take care
Love mum and dad xxxx
