4-May 2008 to 9-May 2008: Julie and I were nervous. Clearly darkness had fallen by now. The kangaroos and wallabies (who knows what else was out there?) seemingly conspired to jump right in front of our vehicle. There was no one else on the unsealed road weaving through this eerie forest. And that sinking feeling of our fear of kangaroos so familiar from the near misses back in Western Australia’s Outback two years ago started creeping in. Even though we’re committed on our path, I couldn’t shake the thought that I had made a mistake and now it might cost us…
