PB was Right !!
Just took a drive upto Monkey Mia (sh*t hole) went via Geraldton, niceish place and backward.
Kilbarry and national park very nice, the sort of place you dont want to leave.
Called in a few other places here and there dropped into the pinnacles a place you just have to visit because its awesome.
BUT 1300 miles of trees and bloody trees and more bloody trees plus keep to the speed limit 110 (66mph) and you will die of boredom before you get there. I may have broke limit once or twice.
the wild flowers are nice though.
Also have decided that WA is home to ZZ top fan club, whats the long beards about.
Anyway back to Perth and have decided PB was right it really is the arse hole of the planet. !!

HI Ya Karawara
Yeah we went upto Kilbarri , stopped one nite , not alot there , but agree nice place , didnt go up any further , took to bloody long to get there !! My cousin lived in Geraldton , hated the place , had his car nicked off the drive 4 times , by the same guy !! It was enroute to the pub so he used to nick it on his way home. We did stop in guilderton , nice little place , stopped on a caravan park , really nice except at nite hoons used the carpark next door , couldnt sleep .
ZZ top , funny isnt it , saw loads of guys with the beard thing in joondalup today , really funny , yet they are young guys alot of them.
Karawara its not that bad surely , well thats what you used to tell me , when i wrote a bad thing about the place 
Chin up , by the way wonder how PB is getting on ??

Just get out of Perth and you'll be fine......
Aus has so much more to offer than one small city in the middle of nowhere.

Plan on bunging the car on the train and going across to Sydney then drive upto Bris end of Novemberish. We don't have to get work (it would be nice) so are free to roam. Anyone reccommend nice places to stay in Bris initial stay for 3 months.
Also not only ZZ top land, but hippyville, old buses and vw vans, stop off at just about every roadhouse or stock up with beer then drink there way across including the driver. Guess it makes the journey bearable.
Road trains - bloody hell. !!!!!

From Karawaras post its evident that he does'nt, so i was simply pointing out that there are parts of aus that are'nt so isolated.

If you've got the time then head on down south of Perth. Beats the north hands down.
You run out of the ZZ Tops at Busselton. Stay here but meander into Margaret River. Arty, surfy, hippy types here. Beaches and surf to write home about. Do the wineries & breweries.
If you haven't bought a vineyard by now, & it has huge potential, carry on down to Denmark, Pemberton & Albany.
Then bung the car on the train & follow your dream.

Do you think the rest of Australia will be much different though? I had come to the conclusion that they use the word 'isolation' as a bit of an excuse to be so far behind.!?
