The last week went faster than expected, even if sometimes the time seemed to stand still. The hostel life but in the long run very enervating, in our case, we even had some luck. Our hostel was clean and large, but relatively familiar and new contacts were made by return mail. The evening talks were thus the only thing giving to a relief from the Australian pay-TV, which mastered the art pieces that horrible level of any German channels to undercut yet.
Our room had four beds, even a relatively small issue of the dorms Down Under. However, four people hold enough noise to make sleeping impossible, either because of flatulence or cold. In this age of fast food and climate control probably no longer a rarity. Otherwise
was thin on the ground next to the daily visit to our website and the scouring of cheap Asian restaurants, variety. Since the pubs here to Part-smoking and the beer prices are astronomical, so we spent the evenings so dear to the balcony to gaze into the fire (or the Aboriginiegangs who regularly camped in front of the hostel very intoxicated). As some people may spend months or even weeks in hostels, we will forever remain a mystery.
Fip seems to have solved the puzzle successfully, because he lives now already some time back at the place where we had picked him in the Traveller's Rest in Sydney. When phone calls turned out that he seems to the fact of unemployment, to go pretty well.
But we wanted to only back into the car, back on the road back to travel. Patches Friday was finally ready, refurbished can say. We now have new cylinder heads, no oil leak more new oil and water filter, new belt, a new radiator and then two full brake lights. The mechanic said that Australia so we could still walk around a hundred times, we hope at least the next two. However, we have now and 1 year Australia wide warranty, which in the case of the cases can not hurt, of course. To give the mechanics a chance next Monday, after a few hundred kilometers to check everything again by, so it was not the same as the West Coast high, but only once at Wave Rock.
Wave Rock and his cousin the Hippo Rock are two fantastic rock formations ausschau border, on the one hand, just one extreme to the other shaft and foot resemble a hippopotamus. The pictures really speak for themselves. Before we got to the granite face, we made stops in Karlgarin, once again the only guests of the really nice trailer parks.
the way back to Perth we segmented into two stages and the first took us to Corrigin. Or should I say hell? At temperatures of 38 ° C in the shade of several trees all afternoon and even 27 ° C for three clock at night, goes by one as good as anything. All people who think maybe at some point to Australia cunning should make you aware that the Australian summer is unbearable. But what you can suspend the weather, the hospitality of the locals make up for that loose, we were invited once again.
to the traditional BBQ with real British deserts with Tofugeschmack steak and sweet, so be it, there were passing the first German beer for months, ice cold, imported Beck's. After several hours of lively discussion, which led to great misunderstanding of our sleeping habits, it was the same the next invitation. This time away from the culinary level and into the heart of true country people of Australia, sheep shearing.
Since we process had never seen up close, we agreed after consultation of reasonable time, then with a "great" enthusiasm. The next morning we started on the same farm, and then purely middle of the action. Five Scherer, two wool collector, and a packer placed then release also powerful, per sheep maybe two minutes. The pace had its price, some sheep from say, as if they were tortured, but our guide said that trouble at anything, but the wool is great - as always. After this "great" experience, it also went straight to Perth, which up to a huge black snake, even was worth mentioning.
Well, the week is out to be pretty close, but in the hostel experience is just much less than the round trip.
morning we will return to the medieval town and a few errands in the city working, before it then goes on to the north along the west coast, rejoice in the coming weeks. The most beautiful part of the continent is now before us, until soon.
