I was thinking the other day that there might be a few people reading this that don't actually know what I am doing this year... So here is the background to how I got where I am right now. At the end of November 2011 I moved from Sydney to Perth to take on a new role as a Project Engineer on a BHP Construction site. The construction site is near the town of Newman in the pilbara.

Leg 2: Landed in Newman on thursday night and went over to Caz's (A friend from my time over in Canada) house. Went out for dinner and a few drinks with Caz.

The track definitely wasnt designed with a 60 Series landcruiser in mind... After...

Friday 30th March: Got the car wired up with two new cigarette lighter plugs for the Fridge and the Inverter.
