Strange places

Bush , bush and bush. 


I went from one place to the other since the time i have been back from high populated and civilized Europe. i stayed most of the time in isolated and remote places. Finke, Napperby, Hearts range and other strange places. No internet and communication, the next little gathering of houses a few hundred k`s away. 


What a difference. Seeing sunrises and sunsets. Sleeping at places where my swag could fit. Falling a sleep in my swag while watching the shooting stars on the back of the truck. Start working at first daylight and ending while the sun is already gone. Installing tiny gensets, painting diesel tanks, installing platforms.


The only interaction with life is the hungry camp dogs waiting outside till we are finished eating. Sleeping next to you in hope when you wake up they got something to eat. Time of the never ending sound of a running generator, almost like a lullyby. Constantly
humming and constantly with earplugs . By this time we have invented our own sign language. If you would look from a distance you would think we play baseball in our free time. The movements we do with our hands to explain things, our to get a simple working tool.


But it`s all fun and games being disconnected from the world. Thinking if the world still would excist if we get back on the road. Activating the cell phone a few 100 k`s before you even have connection in the hope the world hasn`t forgot you. Waiting for that sound that you have missed calls and messages. It almost becomes a game to see who has the most missed calls and messages.


It`s a mixed feeling. It`s been good going bush, but it creates a lonely feeling. It`s hard to socialize when you are gone most of the time. Except then with the local dogs that give you all the love they can. You are away with a team of three man max, and you get along, you have too. But when you are back, you get out as quick you can, not to see the same faces again. A love life , i can`t even think how a woman would look like or how to talk . My vocabulary has become one sided and fixed on one thing.
But no worries, it`s all for a good cause.


I` m working on one of those dreams before it`s gone.
