How to see Australia

Australia is huge! Most of the center and the interesting natural places are barely populated and getting around in them and between them isn't easy or cheap. These are your options:



Take a tour with a bunch of losers



Buy an old car and load it up with your gear and drive around, like this French guy did



Rent an expensive 4WD



or do it the way we did with a normal rental car and a lot of restrictions.

This is the main problem with Australia (aside from the mosquitoes). Numbers 2 and 3 are clearly the best choices but they require either cash or commitment. I don't want to waste either my cash or my commitment on Australia and that is probably why I've never enjoyed the country. But then who cares? If there are countries that require neither cash nor commitment then why bother with Australia at all?
