The world’s smallest continent and biggest island is Australia. It is almost as big as the 48 contiguous U.S.. There are about 20.4 million people and they are largely concentrated in th eastern and south-eastern coastal urban areas. This means that there are big open spaces to explore in the remainder of the country, and this can often be done by car. Pretty coastal lines, inland mountainous regions and verdant tropical forests with exotic plants and wildlife are there for the traveler to see.

You can easily organise for a car rental at the airport or hotel with an international drivers licence or a validated American or European drivers license. There are dozens of car hire companies offering many kinds of vehicles, from diverse makes and sizes of cars and SUVs to minivans, camper vans and RVs, minibuses, and 4WDs. No matter what your needs and requirements are, there will always be a vehicle to suit you. For instance, those who love camping out can find camper vans that will sleep up to 6 people, and come equipped with a microwave, gas stove, griller and refrigerator. Some even have double beds, toilet and shower in addition to the mini kitchen. If you are travelling in more rough terrain, there are 4WDs. For the budget minded, there are economy compact cars and economy campers. There are also convertibles and luxury large cars.

One should be familiar with the basics of driving conditions in Australia: driving on the left side of the road, observing the different speed limits (in kilometres) and regulations in the States to be visited, checking weather and road conditions before travel, letting police know of travel plans if driving in rural areas, making way for the road trains (a semi-truck hauling 3 large trailers), etc. The car hire company will usually provide you with detailed information on driving rules and regulations, supplies to take (most importantly, plenty of water), processes in case of emergency, potential dangers such as wildlife and driving at night, as well as accommodations, routes and resources on the road. Study and preparation ahead will assure a successful and enjoyable car vacation in Australia.


Man from Nepal, 75, oldest climber to reach the top of Chomolungma or Mount Everest June 8, 2008

Now that Andrew Brash has successfully scaled the tallest mountain in the world, he is once again ready to focus on his family. However, he was all too aware of the potential dangers the mountain could bring. Certain parts of the climb are more dangerous than others and it is important for climbers to remain focused With the Chinese preparing for the impending summer Olympic Games, Bahadur Sherchan noted that the government’s actions hardly reflected the Olympic spirit. He was reported in good health as he began making his descent. They flexed their muscles this year all the in name of the Olympic spirit, but it was hardly spirited at all.”

The Chinese were flying their airplanes over the mountain and had Chinese officials in Kathmandu. This season Anthony Loeff the French climber is reporting the scales for Everest after he reached the top of Kilimanjaro earlier this year.

As he planned for the climb, Sherchan told reporters he wanted to inspire fellow senior citizens. He also said many Nepalese have established records on Chomolungma or Mount Everest, so it was only fitting that the record for the oldest climber to reach the summit should also belong to a Nepali. Hall was frostbitten and severely disoriented due to altitude sickness. Min Bahadur Sherchan returned a hero to Calgarians. Min Bahadur Sherchan returned this week from Nepal after successfully climbing to the summit of Chomolungma. “The Chinese weren’t allowing anybody on the mountain. They ended up commandeering it for themselves, even though the mountain is shared by two countries. The 76-year-old man from Nepal is now the oldest person to have reached the top of Mt Everest. “the Mount Everest this year became a political pawn,” he said with some frustration.

Sherchan just 16 days away from his 77th birthday beat the age record set last year by 71-year-old Japanese teacher Katsusuke Yanagisawa.

Andrew Brash and four climbing guides reached the 29,035-foot (8,850-meters) summit of the world’s highest mountain early Sunday, said Ramesh Chretri, an official with Nepal’s ministry of tourism. They basically coerced the Nepali government to not allow any climbers past camp two on the Nepali side. His first found him within 187 metres of the peak when his team stopped to help a fellow mountaineer who was left for dead. Two years later, Andrew Brash, a University of Calgary alumni, returned to Mount Everest to finish what he had started.

More than 3167 people have climbed to the summit since it was first conquered in 1953 by New Zealander Edmund Hillary, who died in January, and Nepal’s Tenzing Norgay.

Bahadur Sherchan last attempt resulted in the rescue of Lincoln Hall, an Australian climber who was left by his team in the “death zone.”

Indeed, the decision to actualize a long-time personal goal left Andrew Brash with some internal uncertainties, he cited the political actions of China and Nepal as providing the greatest adversity he faced on his journey.
