September 18th 2005 - January 14th 2007
On day 4 of our 482 day "Big Lap" of Oz
This is where Expedition Australia all began. We are the Baile family, Steve, Sara, Jen & Savanna and between September 2005 and January 2007 we travelled 46,600 km on our 16 month adventure around Australia. Along the way we travelled some of Australia's toughest roads and visited many of the most remote and spectacular destinations.
