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

What a view!

Back on mainland along the Great Ocean Road

And off to the Grampians for some climbing

Through the Flinders Ranges up north

Into the heart of the red continent

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

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

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

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

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

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!
