Easy now it's all sealed with petrol every 200kms, it is a hell of a long way though.

Its a little thing but, I assumed he was doing the chat to camera from the passenger seat at the start.
No, the selfie camera reverses everything, the sign wording was backwards in the car park shot.

To get an idea of what crossing Australia used to be like have a look at this blokes channel, mainly big trail bike riding on the old roads

Fantastic scenery so far, I have watched the first five episodes and something is missing...

Not a single 'Roo has bounced off the car and despite sleeping in a tent in the bushes nothing with many legs has bitten him even once.

Maybe I watched too much of Steve Irwin at an impressionable age.

Bushfires did for a lot of the animal population so numbers are down, the drought of the last several years followed by the current floods didn't do much either

When I went to Australia for two weeks holiday back in 1986, I nether saw a Kangaroo nor a Koala.

Did see a big fuck off cockroach though!
