The great WA roady

Nigel, Steve, Darren, Fintan and Eugene

Nigel, Steve, Darren, Fintan and Eugene

There is five of us Irish lads traveling together and we decided to attack the giant west coast of Australia in a 1996 Mitsubishi Magna and a 1984 Toyota Tercel which we splashed out a whole $400 for. Probably the Tercel was not the wisest option because by the time we had got 45km out the road it started to struggle big time.

In terms of our itinerary its pretty rough. To be honest we have been following the guide given in the ‘Go West’ magazine and the Lonely Planet.

    What’s the story Eugene man?

    I’d say you’ve head on ya like a bag of spoons from all the drinkin and the craic. Dya remember down the swamp the last day when you were wearin a hat while you were playin, but then you took it off and put on Rochey’s hairband instead? It was such a laugh. I was tellin Mum, Dad, Yvonne and Damo about it and they said it was such a laugh aswell. Yvonne text Dec about it but he hasn’t written back yet. I’ll keep ya posted man.
