Things to do on a 16 hour car drive from Brisbane....

Ponder Australian road signs:

People crossing

Ummmm, feet crossing?


Brumby crossing (i.e., wild horses....gotta give those wild horses a place to cross the highway after all)

Kangaroo crossing....of course.

Koala crossing? Yeah, that's gonna take some time.

Take full advantage of the "Driver Reviver" rest stops (can you say, "free coffee"?):


Pretend you're an undercover cop and take pictures of strangers....


and their license plates


Get full photographic evidence of how fast JL is driving:


Puzzle out billboards (speeding equals....what!):


Check out the Big Banana:*


Let the dog drive:



* By the way, our last rest stop adventure was at a place that was built into a replica of Ayers Rock. Freaking fantastic. Too bad I was too tired to bother with the camera at that point!

Sick and Wrong

Somebody tell me the truth....

Is it wrong to feel lucky to get to leave work at a rational hour....say 11:10 p.m. rather than, say 3 a.m.?
