In the pipe dream category, Darwin to Alice Springs, or vice-versa. I have a desire to visit Oz and it turns out that the distance is almost exactly 1500 kms or three weeks. I got the idea from reading about "
the Ghan" train. The downside is that it would be quite expensive to get there and the time it would take to get there and back is probably prohibitive. Still, I hit a round-numbered birthday next year. Ah well, a man can dream!
When? Can we come too?
ReplyDeleteI have done very little research beyond looking up the distance on Google Maps, so I really don't know when or even if how feasible. I have the impression that Oz is open for biking all year, but that the cooler seasons are likely desirable, thus next northern summer-ish.
ReplyDeleteYour presence and experience of desert biking would be welcome, if I went. To be honest, it would even facilitate my decision as the trip suggests camping, etc. However, I am not even remotely near to a decision.
To top it all off, I saw a movie filmed in the deserts of Patagonia last week which made me think I would want to tag along with you for that portion of your mooted Pan-American trip!
