Putting the #wtrip09 5000KM across Australia into perspective.

Now Australia is a big country…. a very big and very empty country.
The #wtrip09 drive ended up being 5025km so all the side trips added 800km more than the planned route. But that was not a surprise…
So here it the route I had planned (still cleaning up the KML files) then compare what kind of road trip that would have been below…
Or 400km less is this drive

Or only 100km more…

Or 200km less than what I did would be this drive…

And 200km more is this trip….

One of these days I might even do some of these drives….
This is exactly the point Bill Bryson made several times in his Down Under travel book. A funny but exhausting fact about Australia. But i love that place.
