Where On Earth is Jeff: June 2008
http://whereonearthisjeff.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 28, 2008. Australia - Hey Im home - well almost, Darwin. Yes, almost home, just a few thousand kilometres of Stuart Highway through Central Australia to go. Just East of Maumere there is a stretch of beach with a few lots of cabins - lovely. Weighing the bags - they are always packed the same. The approach to Larantuka. The ferry from Larantuka to Kupang. The other contact was Francis, a Director of a local NGO in Kupang, who just happened to be in the same hotel in Larantuka. The NGO ...

http://whereonearthisjeff.blogspot.com/2008/07/alice-springs.html
Monday, July 21, 2008. I'm now in Alice Springs, - about 1500km south of Darwin and 1500km north of Adelaide - half way through my North to South crossing of the Australian continent. With the distance riden so far being around 26,500km and only about 3000km to go, I'm feeling quite close to home. O- At the friends, in-laws (Darwin) David, Sue, Ross and Kaitlyn.

Wednesday, September 26, 2007. Iran - A sleepless night, then Esfahan. Well Ive made it to Esfahan - thats about half way through my Iran journey. Ive spent the last few days here and tomorrow I leave - back onto the road toward Shiraz. The second night before I arrived here in Esfahan was rather eventful and I got no sleep from 11:30pm until the following night. I made camp in a field with the permission of the three workers tending the field that afternoon and also the owner (their father? Of course th...

Where On Earth is Jeff: August 2008
http://whereonearthisjeff.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 14, 2008. Adelaide, and feeling very close to home. I was impressed. But I can't take all the credit though, the wind was blowing my way that day. As they say "Make hay while the sun shines" - I just kept riding until it got dark - and then some. From Kings Creek Station all the way to Erldunda and back to the Stuart Highway. Some mornings got a little cold - both these bottles were frozen. The bike and Uluru. Me and Kata Tjuta. Lizard) Footprints in the roadside dunes. I left the highwa...

Wednesday, February 27, 2008. Nha Trang, Vietnam. Mmm, just looked and saw that my last post was nearly three weeks ago. Time for an update. A very rare shot - A guy stopped to take a picture of me riding, so I got him to take one for me too. (I've not got others of me riding - my timer wont go that long). Deserted streets in old Hanoi on New Years Day -compared to before the new year. New Year balloons, Somewhere along highway one - south of Hanoi. Highway one is a single lane in each direction. Why...

Where On Earth is Jeff: April 2008
http://whereonearthisjeff.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 26, 2008. Looking at the last post I see one photo of Malaysia. Since then I've covered the entire country and the next one. Tomorrow I hit Indonesia - the last country before home turf? I wanted to ride the east coast of Malaysia because I'd seen the west coast on a backpacking holiday 8 years ago. No doubt a future Desktop Wallpaper. A free Breakfast - and the kind contributor. Batik in the process (waxing). Palau Kapas - snorkelling area. Forest Gone - Palms to come. But that wont last...

Friday, December 21, 2007. Delhi then . Merry Christmas - from Bangkok. Well Im out of India. On the other hand, its nice to be away from the cold and very humid weather in that part of northern India. Cold and wet - until quite late each morning - Northern India.

To all and I will be in touch again next year, from somewhere up north of here. Saturday, December 8, 2007. Due to th...

Where On Earth is Jeff: January 2008
http://whereonearthisjeff.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 19, 2008. Laos had a different feel to Thailand as soon as I crossed the border, the other side of the road would have contributed, but the French influence and other unexplainable things just felt good. - I liked it straight away. There is one thing it has in common with Iran. Your wallet fills to bursting with next to no value in it, and you become a millionaire very easily. My standard meals here at the moment are. No carbs and no sugar in a diet hills = no energy and jelly legs.

Wednesday, May 14, 2008. Sumatra then Java - Yogyakarta, Indonesia. One of the many inter-island ferries in Indonesia, sleek fast, but not new. The island and the little villages really make you feel like you are welcome, lovely little villages down at the water surrounded by coconut palms. It is so "Gilligans Island". Gilligan's Island - No - Palau Singkep. Friends in Dabo, to the house for a drink. The boat to Sumatra. Another boat at sunset along the way. My boat arriving in Jambi, Sumatra. The roads ...
