travelling all around the fifth continent


In 1994 I suspended my studies at university to travel all around Australia, including Tasmania, for a period of six months. I bought an old Holden Station Wagon in Melbourne, Victoria, to circle the fifth continent in an anticlockwise direction. Again and again I was fascinated by the vastness and grandeur of the Australian landscape.

All around Australia Tour, 1994

All around Australia Tour, 1994

During my visit to Australia I've tried to see as much of the country as possible and to visit a good selection of the many national parks. Western Australia, a state of gigantic proportions, is particularly blessed with stunning flora, native wildlife, breathtaking vistas and lush landscapes. Not to be missed.

This six months long tour in 1994 was self-organised.
