Ford Prefect's Outback Adventures (Now with extra pictures)
Posted: 2005-09-09 08:05am
Well, I went camping with the Saint Vincent de Paul Society and some kids from the Migrant Resource Centre. We decided to go south . . . far south. As far south as you can go, actually.
Behold! Pictures!
Not all of them, though. Just a couple for now, because of my bastard ISP and the huge size of the pictures.
Look, it is Ford Prefect standing before Antarctica!
That there is the southern most point in Tasmania. We didn't go there (no tracks), but hey.
That was the beach we had lunch at - the southern most beach in Tasmania! Wow!
This is Dave. He's the Youth Coordinator for our conference. He's a little strange when in the fresh air.
The most Southern Staircase in Tasmania! And one of the most southern in the whole world, if I had my way, at least.
Behold my magnificence! Wonder at my teeth! Watch me squint in the merciless light of the sun!
MORE PICTURES!
Me and Bec, sitting on the edge of a cliff.
Aforesaid cliff.
This is Sam. Isn't he great?
Are you ready boots?
Me and Brea, on the Most Southern Beach in Tasmania.
Intrepid Vinnies Youth after a good seven kilometre hike.
EVEN MORE PICTURES!
That thing there is the Huon Jet Boat. The Huon is a river in the south. The Huon Jet Boat is god of the waters. The thing can pull maybe sixty km/h and has a propensity for being able to pull insanely tight turns and spins. If ever you get the chance, I suggest that you go on it.
Just after our first spin. Connie doesn't look that happy, eh?
That's just how good it is. Two thumbs up from me.
THE PICTURES! THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!
Local wildlife. For those of you not in the know, it's a possum.
Smile! Isn't she cute when freezing?
This is John, or Otto-Otto, as Abdul calls him. He makes a mean pancake.
This is quite obviously me, just recently emerged from Miracle Creek Cave.
