I got up early today and hit the road for the long drive.
On the way out of Adelaide I noticed some road kill and upon closer inspection it was a koala which was pretty sad.
Kangaroos are a dime a dozen but it was my first sight of a dead koala which wasn't cool...
Well the drive was pretty long and boring but Freda was again up to the challenge and we did it easily.
Mind you, by mid-afternoon, with the van heating up, the cricket droning in the background and being 700kms into a 900km trip on one of the flattest and most boring stretches of road, ever, I had to put on some heavy metal and crank the iPod to keep the concentration levels up.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Even though the drive was long and boring, it gave me a lot of time to reflect on this year, the highs, the lows, the people I've met and the things I've done.
I arrived in Wagga at about 6.30pm and gave Freda a little kiss of thanks for seeing me right around Australia with no problems whatsoever.
A look at the odometer and it revealed that I had clocked up just over 28,000 kms since leaving Wagga in January this year - not a bad effort!
So, for the time being, I guess this is the end of my travel blog.
Thanks so much for taking an interest in my travels, and my life, and I hope you have found it a bit interesting.
I may update the blog sporadically with random reflections on my trip or other such stuff, so come back occasionally if you like and there may be updates.
My immediate plans are to record a new cd so that's gonna take up a lot of my time from now until the first few months of the new year. I've written a song called "Livin' the Dream" which I'm a little excited about and will probably be the first track on the disc.
Speaking of music, if you want to keep updated with the progress of the new CD, please get in touch and I can add you to my music mailing list.
Otherwise, keep an eye on my music Facebook page which I will endeavour to keep up to date.
Thanks to everyone who I met this year for your generosity and friendship - it was a wonderful experience and one I will not easily forget.
Hugs and Kisses,
Steve

Thanks Australia! You've been great! Good night!
