The third year, and the third part, of our overlanding journey from Austria to Australia.

In the first part,  we were driven from Austria all the way through Central Asia to the end of the “driveable” world, Vladivostok.

In the second part, our journey led us from Vladivostok via South Korea to Japan, moving on to Borneo and Brunei until we spent a few incredible, shocking, scary, marvelous, and surprising months in Indonesia.

This is our story in pictures from our third year, driving around Australia and following the sun.

Stay tuned for the next part!

    Entering Australia with our truck was one of the greatest challenges we had to face on our whole journey yet. It took us about one month to clean our truck properly due to quarantine regulations

    But we made it and arrived in Melbourne

    Before exploring the mainland we wanted to discover the beautiful island of Tasmania

    It has an incredible shoreline

    Mountains

    And epic sunrises

    ADVERTISEMENT

    What a view!

    Back on mainland along the Great Ocean Road

    And off to the Grampians for some climbing

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Through the Flinders Ranges up north

    Into the heart of the red continent

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The famous monolith in the center of Australia called Uluru

    One thing for sure, the flies in Australia are the worst

    But no better place to see the milky way as clear as on the southern hemisphere

    Unfortunately we haven´t seen lots of them

    ADVERTISEMENT

    But we have seen looots of them!

    Go remote and Australia is a perfect adventure playground

    With an insanely beautiful landscape

    And the clearest rockpools you can imagine

    The longer and further we are travelling, the more we experience how everything on this planet is connected. The land, the sea, the air, the animals and the people

    Although this sounds trivial, but the western, industrialized world is loosing their inner connection to the environment and still puts economy above nature. Our planet is a living organism and its heart is the ocean

    ADVERTISEMENT

    If the ocean dies, we all die – Paul Watson, Sea Shepherd

    No one will protect what they don´t care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced – David Attenborough

    It is all about the experience

    And education

    ADVERTISEMENT

    We are trying to raise and educate our child the best way we can

    To bring him closer to nature and

    Sharpen his awareness for our planet and everything that lives on it

    Will we succeed?

    We don´t know but for us the only way to change the current flow of life is, To raise a new, more conscious living generation

    ADVERTISEMENT

    A more sustainable and less destructive one, who is riding on a different road than we currently do

    Otherwise we might head into a dark future

    Changing the perspective of what life is all about might bring light into the world

    We know we are not perfect and probably nobody is

    ADVERTISEMENT

    But we are trying to be a part of the solution, rather than being a part of the problem

    A quick trailer about the last three years on the road, from Austria to Australia. Enjoy!

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

    These pics are amazing! This looks like so much fun. Sadly, I can't afford this but it does look like such a once in a lifetime experience.

    I make more then $12,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 11 to 12 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it…GOOD LUCK.. ===))> 𝐖­𝐰­𝐰.𝐅­𝐮­𝐥­𝐰­𝐨­𝐫­𝐤.𝐂­𝐨­𝐦

    LOVE IT! Them being environmetalists driving a truck consuming 0,25l oil per 100km. Only for lube. Assumably 15 to 20 liter of diesel...is it really necessary to drive through the creek? If they were such good buddies w/ mother earth they would have stayed in Austria. I have my CO2 flaws either but i dont pretend that i am someone else...
