The new german interns

Hey Mates

We, Niklas and Nilo, are the new german interns from Out the back Australia tours. We are replacing Linda and Kathrin and we will try our best to fill in the gap they left.

We are the new staff members of Out the back Australia Tours, which is a tour operator offering tours to experience rural Australia. Nilo will stay in Cunnamulla for 6 months and Niklas for 4 months.

Our first impression about Cunnamulla and the Outback is very positiv, the people who live here are very friendly. The nature and the scenery of the Outback is incredible and gives you only a hint of how big  this country is.

One adventure I already experienced with Linda. We visited Charlotte Plains, it´s a farm appr. 90 km away from Cunnamulla. The farm owners, Robyn and Reid Russel are very nice and generous people and made us feel like home.On the first day, Reid showed us the artesian bore.

The Artesian bore is a place over the artesian basin, which is one of the largest underground water reservoirs on the earth. The water consists of different layers: bearing water, porous sandstones and impervious siltstones and mudstones. In general underground water is quite hot, only some rare bores are filled with cold water. The water was very hot but relaxing at the same time! It is kind of like a huge natural hot tub.

Back at the farm a delicious dinner was waiting for us. 
The second and last day in Charlotte Pla
ins Linda had planned a special trip just for me. We went crazy on a Quad Tour through the Outback and got all dusty and dirty. For me it was the best part of the whole trip.
It was a great experience to learn how to drive a Quad Bike and feel the spirits of the Outback.
