Old People in Mungo NP and Kinchega NP

Dating of ancient burials shows that these are the oldest known fully modern humans outside of Africa.

Intermezzo Camping…

Sedert ik terug in het land ben, geniet ik van het samen kamperen. We worden echte deskundigen in het bivakeren. Bart gebruikt zijn ingenieursinzicht voor het bouwen van waslijnen en het opspannen van tentzeilen. Ik heb me ondertussen omgetoverd in een keukenprinses gespecialiseerd in gezonde voeding in de bush.

Enjoy!
