If you haven’t checked out my travel writing section yet, please do so! I just posted a new story called Mary’s Dumpsters. I enjoy any sort of feedback, so feel free to comment.
Random tree in the middle of nowhere
On the way to Flinders Ranges National Park, South Australia
James and I joined with another group of backpackers to travel across the country from Albany to Adelaide. It took 5 days, 1884 km, 1171 miles.
The vehicles. Underneath the blue towel are some extremely lewd pictures of naked women.
We helped them decorate it, it was an “anything goes” theme.
Typical scenery
Even though its so dry, the Nullabor – a celebrated expanse of nothingness – is prime real estate for raising sheep.

It was a fun trip!
We were lucky to see some alpacas being sheared outside of Albany in Western Australia. Thanks to our Taiwanese friends Stephanie and Victor for inviting us!
The alpacas were nervous to begin with – they were bleating miserably. Even though the shearing doesn’t hurt them, it must be uncomfortable!
The shearers put them down on the ground as gently as possible. Some of the feistier animals struggled and complained loudly.
Once they were down, they had their toenails and teeth cut before getting shorn. It was quite intense and I decided to leave the room after a bit.
They look very skinny and miserable by the end of it, but in the hot summer months who wouldn’t be happier naked?
