The Van - Tamborine Mts, Australia. The Toyota Tarago was the family mobile for a brief 2 weeks.
Just as the Indochina trip ended, I embarked on another trip with my family to see my sister graduate in Melbourne. That was probably an excuse for all of us to go to Australia for a while. I was a little reluctant to go at first due to certain obvious reasons but decided to go anyway as all had been thoroughly planned by my dad. My thinking was that I have already squandered enough time journeying around Asia and Indochina and I haven't had any income for the last 6 months. Compelling reasons to stop wasting more of my life away. However, the thought - I might never get to go again with nearly all my family members - prevailed and I asked my dad to book the flight tickets. Little did I know, the flight ticket was just a minor expenditure and I would find out frighteningly fast how expensive things are in Australia compared to my part of the world - South East Asia. Guess money can be made back, but opportunities for adventure seldom come. And seeing that I would be using up a lot of money, I might as well make it big and extend my stay Down Under for 2 more weeks. My plan was to see a good part of the Australian east coast.
