Road Trip: Sunshine Coast To Perth & Back Again...

Oh, so many laughs. But one that stands out is when we reached the little ‘town’ of Warburton in the Gibson Desert. Because it is mentioned daily on the weather report we didn’t expect it to be simply a large caravan park. This was our first experience of sleeping in a donga*. Our friends were hysterical at the idea of us spending the night here, particularly as there was a strictly ‘no alcohol permitted’ ruling. But it is the only accommodation we could reach in a day along The Great Central Road.

*Donga is an Australian slang term for a temporary, usually modular building, normally built of lightweight materials so that it can easily be moved from site to site. Typically associated with demountable classrooms and workers accommodation.
