Leaving India, we first had to find a shipping agent in Chennai (Madras) and then arrange for Thelma to be crated up - this was achieved by employing a carpenter to build a crate around her - a made-to-measure wooden number.

Celebrating our achievement in having reached Sydny we took part in the Mardi Gras parade through the city.

The start of the Nullarbor Plain (almost 1000 miles long) in Australia- home to the longest straight piece of road in the world, 90 continuous miles without a curve. Our main problem being where to rough camp when there are no trees or bushes to hide behind.
