We have been out of internet contact for about 4 days now and as usual, there is a lot to update everyone on. We found out that we will in fact be getting our trucks on the 7th of April… after having to shell out another thousand dollars to get them here two weeks earlier […]

The good kind of delay.
March 28, 2007 – 6:33 pm
On our journey further south we have arrived in a town named Geelong. In stark contrast from the busy city of Melbourne, this quaint little town has an unbelievable waterfront with a quiet little restaurant serving excellent food, wood carved statues ornamenting the small parks along the boardwalk and lines of sailboats ready to cruise […]
South Coast Drive

We’ve been on the road for a few days now headed south to Melbourne with two camper vans and it’s been great. Getting out of hot, busy Sydney was a much-needed breath of fresh air for us all. The two Toyota Hiace camper vans we rented from Britz are actually quite nice and I’ve been […]
When is the Sharper Image going to come out with the right adapters?

Behind the desk at the xBase backpackers hostel is a extremely knowledgeable woman named Lydiane whom we refer to as the oracle.

Hello everyone, Brian Chap here and this will be my first official TWBR blog entry, and I would like to tell you a little about my experience so far with “the Steve’sâ€.

Thrill ride of a Lifetime
March 16, 2007 – 12:38 am
I have done a few crazy things in my life and have been known to push the edge a little bit from time to time when prompted, but I have to say that today presented one of those thrill seeking moments that truly struck fear into my core. Queenstown New Zealand is home to some […]
