Intro

G-man (aka Gerard) and AJ (aka Arjan) decided to do a tour in a Wicked campervan. If you live in Australia, you know them... Those campers with graffiti, quite often old and dodgy, almost always used by back-packers and often on the side of the road with troubles. But, they are cheap! If you've never seen them, check out the pictures.

Wicked campers are mainly used by back-packers but we thought it's the best and most adventurous way to get from Sydney to Cairns. Other camper-vans are mainly used by grey nomads and too expensive for us. Yes, we are too old for a Wicked but too young (and stingy) for a Britz or Apollo van. OK, we also think a Wicked is a better chick-magnet (until we get off).

Off course we have a very tight schedule for our trip:

• Pick-up the Wicked on Tuesday Sept. 14th in Sydney
• Go to the pub on Tuesday night
• Depart sometime on Wednesday in the direction of Cairns (2700 km)
• Get to Cairns before 1 pm on September 25th to drop off the Wicked and fly back to Adelaide
