SPLATIFIED

A friend of mine has just got back from Australia and sent me some photos, Incredibly jealous now, it's only been a year since we got back last time but it feels like a lifetime away now. It's funny how the simplest things can jog a memory, like a crow for instance, in Oz they sound very different to over here apart from the first 'note', and if the sun is shining and I hear a crow I am instantly back in Australia.
It may sound gushy but I really love Oz, I suppose it's because every memory I have of the place has been a holiday memory, if I lived and worked there I may feel differently about it, I'd be happy to give it a try anyway :)
One of the things I love most about it is it's so vast and I love driving, so, to get anywhere you have to drive, and one of my favourite drives is to a place called the pinnacles, part of the nambung national park
The drive from my cousins place takes about 4 hours and it's all bush and open roads all the way up, fantastic for an open road bloke like me :) Once there, it's really quite surreal, The heat has a kind of buzz about it, it's quiet, almost unbelievably quiet, and it's like being on a different planet, I love it and have been twice. Nearby is a small town called cervantes where we always go to get fish and chips and have a walk along the beach.
