OzBus is a new travel company that provides a regular overland bus service between London and Sydney, Australia. The first bus departed on 16 September, carrying a mixture of people, including a writer from The Guardian. Every two weeks she'll be writing a column, documenting the trip. Her first piece is here.
I feel like signing up for one of their trips! The idea of sitting on my ass for 84 days is not compelling, but the sights and the adventures shared with a group of people make me think that it could be one of those "life-changing" type of trips, where you make friends for life and discover new things about yourself (i.e. the endurance to sit on your ass for 84 days). It's also a little bit like being a Big Brother contestant, only you don't have a public baying for your blood, nor fellow bedmates as thick as shit. And no money at the end of the rainbow. And no cameras... Ok, I guess it's not that similar to Big Brother.
Visiting dozens of countries; camping under the stars; meeting people from all over the world... it's a universe away from this grey London outside my window.

Go on the OzBus
I really want to do this! Can you imagine how much you'd learn about yourself and how you deal with others on a trip like this? I used to take 2 wk long bus trips every summer when I was a Church-going girl. We did musical mission trips and work mission trips, alternating one for the other every summer, it was terrible and wonderful.
