Well... we've had our first big mechanical problem. After 35000km (at least 5000km of that on dirt roads), one of the power steering hoses went out. And it happened on a late Thursday afternoon. And it happened in the Bungle Bungles, a good six hours away from the nearest town, three of which are by a rough dirt road. We weren't going to give up our helicopter ride over the Bungles, though.

- Had one of those 'oh, what are they doing talking in an Aussie accent' moments when I overheard a couple of blokes talking next to me. This was when we were shopping at Coles supermarket at Casaurina Square mall today... browsing through the Old El Paso Mexican food section. Then it was a 'duh, you're in Australia'.
