36603 to 41453 kms!!! (2910 miles!!!!!)

We are waiting in Perth airport for our flight to Ayers Rock.   We were both happy campers to drop off the car without any problems or damage, though the cost, convenience and freedom having a car in WA was wonderful.... and now a word from Hope.
Car intact including the left and right mirrors ..  the road trains were a  bit scary especially on the narrower roads : diana's knuckles do turn white
!!!!    Spent our last night in york: a delightful colonial/victorian town.  Took our  usual hike this am only to prematurely terminate it .... just too much grass; too high; and the path too narrow when the brochure warned of snakes.   Good decision as after recrossing the bridge we found the real trail which was both wide and  filled with gravel!!!!    
Our first  two weeks have been fabulous.  We have yet to meet with anything but warm hospitality.  Having the g20 in brisbane has been interesting as the news folks discuss points from a different perspectives involving the abbott government as well the labor party.  I have been impressed at the quality of their self explanatory tours as well as by their intelligent presentation of the aboriginal story?
