drive from Sydney to London

In April 2006 Patrick and Colleen Edwards set off to drive from Sydney to London. The idea was to drive across Australia to Darwin, take a ferry to East Timor and inter-island ferries through Indonesia to Singapore and then drive overland from Singapore through Malaysia, Thailand Laos and China. They would drive on the Karakorum Highway over the Himalayas from China to Pakistan and on through Iran and Turkey, then across Europe to England

 

Here are some of the audience for this very interesting talk.

Note Jason was the tour guide in China at the time.

Driving To London

In April 2006 Patrick and Colleen Edwards set off to drive from Sydney to London. The idea was to drive across Australia to Darwin, take a ferry to East Timor and inter-island ferries through Indonesia to Singapore and then drive overland from Singapore through Malaysia, Thailand Laos and China. They would drive on the Karakorum Highway over the Himalayas from China to Pakistan and on through Iran and Turkey, then across Europe to England.

·                   Met the most honest man in China

·                   Arrested in Pakistan

·                   Most bizarre interrogation by an Iranian immigration official
