Outback bound

Greetings!! We arrived in Melbourne on the 20th and spent a couple days there. It's summer in Australia, so it's a nice climate change from China and Japan.
Our friend Megan took the overnight train from Sydney and met us for the weekend. We also got to see a couple of Oli's old friends from the hostel days. It was great spend a couple days catching up with good friends!

Melbourne is a really nice city, we could've spent a lot more time there if we had it. The Australian Open was going on while we were there so the city was hopping.

Today we got our rental car and drove just over 700 km to Adelaide. We're just spending the night here and then heading to the outback tomorrow. We picked up a tent in Melbourne and plan to put it to good use over the next few days. We'll try to get to Coober Pedy tomorrow and then head up to Ayers Rock on the 25th. From there we'll head towards Cairns and down the eastern coast.
We have just 26 days here and a lot of ground to cover!

Cheers!
