The very lightly populated outback regions in Australia can provide the unique opportunity of a ride in a road train. Waits can be long and the climate harsh but the local people very warm and inviting and supportive of any venture to move around by hitchhiking (public transport is often non-existent). It is highly advisable if venturing into these regions without your own transport to carry enough food and water with you for at least a day and carry a good sun hat and warm clothes — people do die in these areas from lack of preparation.

The first people to discover Australia did so approximately 40,000 thousand years before Europeans set foot on the continent. Recently unearthed evidence suggests, in contrary to popular belief, that the first european to visit Australia was Portuguese explorer Christopher de Mendonca, who led a flotilla of four ships into Botany Bay in 1522 -- almost 250 years before Britain's Captain James Cook.
