Quickly packing up, with the sky rapidly blackening \n                      being lit up only by short flashes of lightning, and the \n                      wind whipping up sticks and leaves, I headed to sleep in \n                      the laundry till the storm passed. But after an hour of \n                      threatening it had passed without a drop. The ground was \n                      getting harder after three nights on a half inch bedroll \n                      and I awoke early to depart early, travelling in the dark \n                      for the first hour. Not a wise thing to do out here, being \n                      a nocturnal animals paradise, the skippies (kangaroos) and \n                      emus particularly like the green pickings by the roadside.&#8221;<\/i> \n                      <br>\n                      &#8212;Peter &amp; Kay Forwood<\/p>\n                  <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <p>\u00a0<\/p>\n            <div>\n              <div> \n                <div> \n                  <div><b>Country<\/b><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n                <div> \n                  <div><b>Travelers<\/b><\/div>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n              <div> \n                <div>Australia\u00a0<\/div>\n                <div> \n                  <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ozemail.com.au\/~forwoodk\/austral1.html\">Forwoods<\/a><\/p>\n                  <p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horizonsunlimited.com\/Australi.htm\">Grant \n                    &amp; Susan Johnson<\/a><\/p>\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n              <div> \n                <div>Malaysia <\/div>\n                <div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ozemail.com.au\/~forwoodk\/malaysi1.html\">Forwoods<\/a><\/div>\n              <\/div>\n              <div> \n                <div>New Zealand <\/div>\n                <div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.horizonsunlimited.com\/NewZeala.htm\">Grant \n                  &amp; Susan Johnson<\/a><\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <p>\u00a0<\/p>\n            <p>\u00a0<\/p>\n            <div><\/div>\n            \n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally published in BikerTrash.
