Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Finally off on the Red Earth Expedition.
RED EARTH EXPEDITION – Stage 1
West Australien
2239 Laufkilometer, Mai bis Dezember 2000
150 Kilometer östlich der Südwestküste beginnt die längste Kamelexpedition der australischen Geschichte. 2.239 Kilometer arbeitet sich unsere kleine Karawane durch abgelegenes Busch- und Wüstenland.
Buschfeuer, Wasserknappheit, ein Wirbelsturm der Superlative und der Verlust unserer Kamele sind ständige Bedrohungen.
Buch zur ersten Expeditionsetappe
Es ist die Erzählun
The first days at the campfire
Loading the camels is like a nightmare
Repair and reorganize
A day between highs and lows
Good luck
Repair camp number two
Herding camels is a responsible task
Extended rest
I could sing with happiness
The iron snake
Minor aches and pains
We don’t want to set any records
After the calm comes the storm
Skin cancer?
Achieve Goomalling
The findings
I dance with happiness
Spooky silence
Picasso
Our camels have forgotten everything
I take over the leadership of the caravan
The seasons determine our speed
Dark rain clouds sever connection to the outside world
Tom finds fault with the Flying Doctor radio
Small cause, big effect
Sebastian and Hardie’s nose training has unpleasant consequences
Each of our camels has its appearance
Sandstorm
Why the saddles have to fit like tailor-made shoes
The solution
I go to my knees in pain
The situation is unchanged
If I had no pain, I would be a happy person
Situation consistently poor
It is a wonderful feeling when the pain subsides
The mood is good
Exploratory drive, cattle grid and fences
Jo gets away with it
We hope for better times again
We take the opportunity to practise knotting techniques
The course of the expedition remains uncertain
Psychological low
Folding table, luxury on an expedition
Extended rest
