two years ago, August

Before the end of Summer, we had the last time rolling on the beach at Sydeny. just about to set up Australia Fram Trip.



We bought a Van from a random middle east guy at an Arabian area we never been. After looking for the car we walked on the street all day. There's a last number on our list. John make a call and we jump on the bus and jump off on a train station which was no train at all coz that line had a problem few days ago or so. I have no idea where are we. The situation wasn't too good and nearly 10pm at the time. 20 minutes later a Van drived close to us parked across to the street. An Arabian guy about over 50 years old by looking got off the van, his right hand holding a bag of unknow stuff. He was chewing something in his mouth and asked us are we the one who wanna check the Van. John answer yes and I kind walked behind John toward the van across street. There were other 4 young tough looking Arabian guy set inside the Van and look at us. We thought this is the Van but don't know why those Arabian guys still inside and staring us. He start to talk to John first, I barely understand at all. Then he asked me to try that something from the bag he was holding and chewing. I grab some and saw John looked at me and i can see his face says do not eat that stuff you idiot! It looked something like nuts but not quite... Now all the Arabians all stare at me. so i put few in my mouth and it tasted not bad at all. teste between cheetos or popcorn I think. And that guy asked me try some more so i did. then his brother show up with a rough looking van. After 10 minutes test driving or so. We got off the van went to a ATM machine cash out 800AUD each then we drive our tank home.

This pic was shoot on Queensland a horse farm we worked, half hour drive and you can get in outback easly.
