Q. I can’t afford a plane ticket to Perth, how would you suggest getting there?
A: Seeing as petrol is so expensive at the moment, driving will probably amount to a similar price or more than a plane ticket – therefore we do not suggest this. Your only option is to walk. If you are from Sydney it will take you exactly 31 days and 1 hour so you will need to start walking at the beginning of June. According to google maps the best route to take can be seen here. Once you are on the edge in Perth we can guarantee that you will not regret the journey.
Q. I am convention mole, will my true identity be revealed in Perth?
A: Maybe, maybe not…
