About this ebook
This is just a simple book of feelings I had whilst travelling the many varied and beautiful parts of this incredible country. The words flowed from me from the emotions which I felt while in a certain area. I felt a calm and peace and also so many feelings of exhilaration and also some of fear while in cities which was a very rare event that is because many nights we were camping in our rig by rivers or creeks or in mountains or coasts. I felt very in touch with nature and she spoke to me loud and clear, this trip took us 10 months travelling with our simple HiLux UTE and a canvas tent which folds out from it. So, it was very basic; all we had was our 100 year old kerosene lantern and an Esky. A very no frills way of travelling around Australia especially the many National parks.
