Our last day on KI was spent pretty much in the van as Jen was feeling a bit rough and the waether was awful. In the evening the local pub came and picked us up (!) and we had a few beers and a bottle of locally made wine which wasn't half bad. The bloke that gave us a life in spent 20 mins saying we'd done the right thing by not drinking and driving etc etc...and then promptly wolfed down 2 bottles of wine with his wife...someone else dropped us back - thank God!

We boarded the ferry back to the mainland this morning after spending 20 minutes watching it get battered by the waves on it's way over...and the trip back wasn't any smoother. It was like a scene from a film as things rolled across tables and people formed an orderly queue to go and be sick in the toilets. None of us succumbed though although Pat said he would have had we been an extra 10 minutes or so...

A couple of hours, and an altercation with a lorry driver, later (he even gave me the 'birdy' - what a friendly chap!) we arrived in Adelaide at Backpack Oz. They very kindly picked us up from the 'campervan deposit place' and although basic the place is excellent - free videos, pool table, lift to the airport tomorrow, and most importantly of all, friendly and informative staff. Adelaide itself seems to have it's fair share of nutters/weirdos. So far we've had sightings of at least 3 Tourette's sufferers, and enough grungey types to fill a Soundgarden concert 30 times over. No-one seems very friendly either - maybe it's the weather as it's currently pissing it down.

Luke (our mate from Melbourne) sent us a text messgae saying he'd bumped into Jason McCartney in the street and told him about the '3 Poms' trip to the footy' and said to say 'Hi!' to the Roos new English fans...cool eh? Kind of. So off to Uluru over the course of the next few days - no idea how we're going to get there or on what kind of tour, but either way unlikely to be any updates (other than photos that I'm trying to upload now) for a few days - not until we reach Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef anyway...
