Surfing Chapter Twenty Nine: Epilogue/ サーフィン
Don’t stand at the dock of the bay, wasting time...
Surfing Chapter Twenty Eight: BINGO! ($10,000)/ サーフィン 第28章: ビンゴ!(100万円)
The bus had other things wrong with it. The front left shock absorber was completely useless and the whole vehicle, needed about two thousand dollars worth of work on it. Fortunately Vegemite managed to eventually find the brake reservoir, and when he topped it up the brakes worked like a dream. Alm
Surfing Chapter Twenty Seven: Geralton/サーフィン第27章:ジェラルトン
At last we had a bit of money, enough for fuel and a bit to spare. We drove the eight hundred and thirty five kilometers up to Broom while the girls stayed on at Karratha. I remember seeing camels on Cable Beach and having another run in with some locals at the pub. Eventful places... No luck. Wit
Surfing Chapter Twenty Six: Karratha/ サーフィン第26章:カラサ
We spent a few days at Exmouth, killing flies and walking out on the reef at low tide. By the time we got up to Karratha we were almost out of money. There were a lot of young people up there looking for work on the Burrup Peninsula Gas Project. Jobs were high paying but difficult to land, unless yo
Surfing Chapter Twenty Five: Tombstones
The next day we decided on a change of scenery, we pulled up stumps and took the bus up the sandy desert track a few Kilometers further North to Tombstones.
Surfing Chapter Twenty Four: The Big Swell (Day one)/サーフィン第24章:巨大なスウェル(1日目)
We had two more calm days at the Bluff before a rumor began to spread around camp that a big swell was on the way. We had swum with turtles, ridden up sand dunes, and the fishing had been great. We used up a whole bottle of soy sauce just on sushi alone... On the fourth morning we awoke to long sw
Surfing Chapter Twenty Three: Red Bluff
In the morning we had a quick breakfast and then followed the North West Coastal Highway twenty four Km North of Canarvon before taking the turn off to the Blow Holes. The way was sealed for fifty kilometers and then turned into a dirt road. "KING WAVES KILL" read the road sign by the rock
Surfing Chapter Twenty Two: Western Australia/ サーフィン第22章:西オーストラリア
We crossed the Nullarbor once more, this time without incident, and arrived gratefully back home in Perth to the welcoming arms of family and friends. It had been an AWESOME TRIP, but the best was yet to come...
Surfing Chapter Twenty One: Tempers Flare/サーフィン第21章: ついに男たちの気性がぶつかり合う
By this stage we had been living, almost on top of each other, for 4 months. We had all gotten along well, 4 egos coinciding in relative harmony, but the incident with the engine and the inevitable stresses of life on the road were about to surface in a big way...
Surfing Chapter Twenty: The Mirror/ サーフィン第20章:鏡
It was my turn to drive. We passed the Clybucca service station honking the horn and yelling from the windows. We stopped in Kempsey and refueled at the last out of town service station. Immediately after pulling out I was faced with red traffic lights on a 4 lane bridge.
Surfing Chapter Nineteen: Seven Days by the Road/ 第19章:道路脇で過ごした7日間
The next morning we were back at the wreckers in Kempsey. We purchased heavy chains from them and hired their driver and a tow truck to go out and pick up the new engine from the farm and then deliver it to the bus. The driver was a very short, round, fat little man and I remember telling him that w
