Thank you, with regards from Rotterdam!

Mate you will absolutely love it. If you do some top places to stop. Fremantle - Round house and Fremantle Prisons. That will give you and insight on to what the penal colony was like. Road to Kalgoorlie. Yellowgine cemetary - A real intro to the brutality of their early pioneers hardships and perils. Coolgardie - Check out the museum lots of info on the early gold Rush. Whilst your there almost directly opposite is Vern's rock shop ( if it's still there ) Vern's a local prospector and has lots of great gold related stuff, and pick up a gold pan whilst your there because you will want to try your luck. Kalgoorlie/Boulder. Take time to look at the architecture in Kal and the short drive to Boulder ( 8km) and get real taste of a desert township frozen in time. The local Aborigines are the Wongi, a lot of them only speak broken English. Broad arrow pub. Two up school. Tour mines are excellent. The Super pit, a massive open cut gold mine. Drive out to Kambalda to Red Hill overlooking Lake Lefroy towards Norseman. A real sense of the outbacks vastness. A moment to reflect on Paddy Hannon's treck to find gold. If your in to road touring head to Norseman and fuel up then head to Esperance some 250 km South. Or if you want to see the cliffs of the Great Australian Night head towards Cocklebiddy ( only about 350 km ), check the local maps for sight seeing points. Back to Esperance. That's the town of islands on the Southern ocean. Head West along the coast to Augusta from there up the coast to Yallingup stopping at Margaret's River. After Yallingup the short 10 km drive to Dunsborough. This region is Geography bay. In summer the bay is like silk and the reflection of the night sky is really something. The bays between Dunsborough and the cape are simply stunning. Lots of wildlife on the roads particularly sun rise and sun set so drive carefully. Just Do It ! The west is more culturally Irish than you would think. You will be right at home.

Yes Jesper, you heard that very well. Btw, vores søn heder også Jesper. Men vi (Anni og Arie) bor i Holland. Min film er fra vores 2014-rejse med min svoger John. Han og Anni er Dansk og jeg (Arie) er Hollæder. John bor I Ausralien siden 1967, det meste af tiden ved Perth. Vores første tur til (Vest) Australien var i 1983, og siden har vi været der i 1992, 2009 og 2014. Hvis du vil se film fra Danmark søger du efter “adjofilm Denmark” og så kan du finde 2 af mine film om Møn (snowstorm og summer landscape).

Certain things are not allowed to cross Australian state borders, like apples. One has to throw it away in that disposal box. See the sign.

Apoligies for not replying earlier: I was a month in Oman and returned this morning to the Netherlands. The Southern coastal road is a lot easier, mostly tarmac. And in Esperance you're already rather far to the east to start with. For the interior you need a 4WD because there are sandy parts between Leonora and Uluru. And that part takes approx. 3 days. But there are a few road houses spread over the desert. Prepair properly. I don't know about the permits because our brother (in law) who lives in Perth arranged it for us. He was also in this film and it's his car. It's up to you to decide. For the requirements and the permits may be see the internet. Obviously also airco in the car is required as it may become 40 degrees C. And take sufficient water and spare fuel and communication facilities with you, etc.

I wouldn't do that in the deserts.

Funny. That's how we communicate here in Rotterdam. Is n't thát funny?
