Our time so far in Australia has been almost entirely spent on the coast. Before I arrived here, the pictures in my mind of this country and its citzens could have been pulled out of a fantasy novel considering their level of accuracy. A couple of years ago I spent some time down in Brazil […]

I live in a spaceship.
April 23, 2007 – 5:24 pm
It has been about a week since taking possesion of the vehicles. After spending two months without the trucks, it is easy to forget what real freedom and conveniences are like. Daily we have to double our travel time, work out three or four different modes of trasportation and revolve our schedule around timtables. Since leaving […]
Thule Hookup
April 17, 2007 – 12:38 am
It is about time to tell everyone a little bit about one of our sponsors and the great people that work there. Thule (pronounced "too-luh") has joined on as a sponsor of the expedition and, as you may or may not be aware, produce some excellent roof rack systems and storage devices. We have been […]
We have the trucks.
April 13, 2007 – 10:22 pm
Things are truly on the up and up. We now have the trucks and are in the Blue Mountains outside of Sydney. Now that we have our gear we were able to go canyoning in an amazing canyon and abseil some waterfalls. We have limited internet right now, but we will be taking some photos […]
Stay Left
April 4, 2007 – 9:35 pm
After a first attempt at driving on the left side of the road things turned out pretty well despite a slightly adverse crew and a nervous Steve (or two). After almost sideswiping a sign and knocking a few items over in the van as I got feel for the loose steering, it was basically smooth sailing […]
South Coast Drive
March 25, 2007 – 10:44 pm
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 […]
New Bios
March 24, 2007 – 4:54 am
I have updated the bios for the new members of the team. Check them out! I have also received a few questions concerning the vehicles. We are working on the vehicle page right now and are hoping to get them up tomorrow morning. Unfortunately we will not have any action photos until the 7th of […]
The Team – Photos
March 18, 2007 – 10:43 pm
We have taken a picture of the team and will have bios up for everyone shortly. Here we all are at the Sydney Opera house…
TWBR Team has Grown
March 18, 2007 – 5:55 am
The World by Road is now currently in Sydney, Australia. It is hard to believe that we have been gone for nearly a month. Fiji is a distant but prominent memory and we hardly had a chance to catch our breath after the Canyon Swing before we had to leave New Zealand. I wish we could have spent more time […]
We all can learn from A1 Scuba.
March 13, 2007 – 6:07 pm
Since this whole thing began a couple of years ago we have dealt with many different companies and people. The interactions have been concerning matters from sponsorship to media to shipping of vehicles. As I have stated in some previous entries, many of these interactions have been far less than satisfactory. When we have our […]
