At
9.00 am, Aleko and Vale are in 'TripleJ's'
studio, the main Australian radio for young
people. Then, at 11.00 am, Aleko gives another
interview for ABC, the national radio. Today,
the Car@van travels on the air !
By
the same time, Maya and Marco are in Chat with
the Virtual People. Your suggestions and
comments are really important for us; in many
Chats, we feel like we really constitute a
unique entity, You, the Mind, We, the Body.
Thus, with a chill, we discover your vote,
Voting Form n°11. Explore: pick up fruits in
an Australian farm - Continue: go towards
South East, on the Great Ocean Road, towards
Melbourne. A bit tiring but great, well done !
We'll
wait for this week-end to pick-up the fruits,
because it's already time to go back on the
road at the moment. Leaving is like a drug for
us, it's amplifying the present instant.
The
Team irrupts in a shop selling theatre
articles, to choose some wigs for the
Australian crossing - in the spirit of
'Priscilla', as you decided ! Then, we have a Thai
lunch, and at last, we're on the road. We
travel in two Mitsubishi minibuses, listening
to loud music. Compass pointed to South East,
we avoid the highway to get lost on a sandy
track. Cows and sheep look at us, in the
middle of golden plains... it's so great to
travel !
Our
excitation is getting higher, and we suddenly
stop for a colored and crazy moment - but
click on the pictures and look at the video.
It's
the end of the day when we stop the minibuses
close to a salted lake. We run, play, shout
and jump. We free our energy... we want to be
fluid, feel as light and intense as the wind
that blows in our ears.
There
are still two bottles of wine from Andrew.
With little tomatoes and parmesan, the evening
should be great under the stars.
We
are now writing from a small house, belonging
to M. Dave. He rented it for the night. We're
in a place called Policemans Point, it seems
there are a bit more than ten houses. But it's
already late and we feel tired ... Time to go
to bed...
Watch
the video, now !

Thus,
all of us can express his own
feelings and speak frankly with
the others. Unfortunately, we'd
really like to tell you more, but
it's quite hard on the Chat.
That
was just to tell you that Chat
takes a real part in our trip -
Real and Virtual - and that we're
happy to be able to share the
trip, live from somewhere on our
little Planet... as if we were all
around a fire, symbol of our
community!

Car@van:

Theo,
driving in the middle of the
country, murmurs: "We've done
a lot of road, but few
kilometers".
Vale,
handing a red bottle, looking at
the sunset, shouts: "Thank
you World, for existing!".

The
Great Ocean Road
One
of the most spectacular roads in
Australia. The Great Ocean Road
follows 320 km between cliffs and
desert beaches, crossing colorful
little villages, and ends in Port
Campbell.
The
Great Ocean Road was built between
1916 and 1932; at first by the
soldiers coming back from the
first world war, then by the
unemployed persons of the great
1920 crisis. The national Park
that runs alongside the road was
completely destroyed by a huge
fire. 72 people died, a hundred of
houses were destroyed.
But
it's only a bad souvenir today...
The Road is more beautiful as
ever, we can't wait to be there!

We
don't want to tell you. What's for
sure is that we'll spend two days
disconnected from the Web, but
close to the Earth.
The
Journal will be back on the 18.
Chat on Sunday at 13.00 GMT (22.30
pm in Melbourne).
If
you have chance to go through an
unknown road this week-end, think
about us.
Kisses,
dear trip mate !
