RE: Where on Wednesday thirty one: Mindil Beach with Faith...And crocs
I'm heading to Cairns in the middle of next year, one of my brothers and his wife live there. T-dog lived there for a long while also. Very tropical and the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Bloody beautiful.
Four days drive, 10 hours a day! Adelaide to Cairns. 3403km
(There is a shorter, more direct route, but there is bloody nothing on the way. It's via Bourke and is very remote. I'd use it, but it's not really the go for tourists.)
South to North UK...1314km
Kind of puts it into perspective huh?
It totally does!!
Worse yet, little Scotland is only about 400 odd K I think. It's pretty tiny! I think the North of Aus might be my new place to aspire to!
I like to understand distances, it's an OCD thing I think. I also need to understand where the points of a compass are in a new city. (My wife thinks I'm weird - I am only partly sure I am. Lol.)
Hey, if you get your Scottish Ass to the NT I'll come up there for a Great Northern with ya.
There was a TV commercial here, about tourists going to the NT. (Northern Territory). The catch-phrase was CUin theNT - I'm serious.
It didn't last long.

Hahaha, I can imagine some folk taking it a bit too seriously!
I am like that with cities. I always feel a pressing need to know which way is North!!
Goddamn it! We're bloody twins! Lol.
I just told Faith, she rolled her eyes and said, "another weirdo." 🤣
She was just joking, well, in your case anyway, she knows I'm a stone cold weirdo so doesn't pull any punches.
