You sound like me with your short cuts...Life doesn't begin until I hit the dirt usually. Actually, I just finished a post about a short trip Faith and I are taking this Sunday to Moonta...360km for a Cornish pasty. Lol.

Yeah man, you'd love Australia...We have a little of everything...I think people don't realise the distances, and lack of anything in between. I've even heard of Australian's saying things like *driving day trip to Cairns from Brisbane (It's in the same State but is 1700km away!) See map below. I live in Adelaide.
