Elantra diaries 02

There was this dude I met from Germany, and when I told him I wanted to drive to the 'outback' he said: 'Yeah, good luck with that. You know that that's like 5000km away from the coast? First you have to drive 2000km through bush and then another 3000km and then you're there.'
Well... seems like he was a prick.
