The Hookers began the Australian journey in November 2001 from Perth, Western Australia. Passing across the Nullarbor and proceeding up the east coast of the Australia, crossing to Normanton at the bottom of hte Gulf of Carpentaria before arriving in Cloncurry.

Keeping a website travelogue on the journey Andrew has written a book about the experiences entitled "Ants, Dust and Flies in my coffee", a direct expression of one of the experiences of living on the road.
