| Brumbieboy is captured and it is the first time he meets a human. What a feeling! | Australia has over 2 million wild camels. I took a ride on the camel today, cool! |
 |
 |
| After 27h by flight it was time for six hours ride by the troopy. I´ll do whatever it takes to meet the brumbies. | There was only one way to go........ |
 |
 |
YES! I need a visa to go to Australia and I didn´t think about that, OPS!
|
 |
 |
| Brumbies were captured | All the Brumbies have a perfect cone shaped hoofcapsule due to the land they walk on. |
 |
 |
| Once in a lifetime! I'm riding the Brumbieboy. | Check out Brumbies from the helicopter is exciting until I got really motion sick! |
 |
 |
| Time to ride the quad bikes. I just have to figure out how! | Brumbie handling with Brian Hampson. |
DAY 5 The last day of the conference
 |
 |
| The conference is over and we celebrate the Swedish Midsummer. Professor Chris Pollitt takes his first Swedish snaps | Our stockcamp! |
 |
 |
| Brumbieboy gets gelded. There are 10 vets joining the conference so the animals will be well taken care of. | The bus unfortunately hit a brumbie and vets had to put him down. |
 |
 |
| Wild Horses! | We went to have a look at Uluru rocks. |
DAY 6 I got the opportunity to spend two days with the research team.
 |
 |
| We climb up a mountain where Brian tried to track the brumbies with the GPS, but no luck | However, we saw lots of hoofprints. |
DAY 7 On our way to the springs.
 |
 |
| We passed numerous abandoned cattle stations. | For a sec the wild buckskined stallion turned up and I got him on the lens. YES! |
 |
 |
| Professor Chris Pollitt is creating a new documentary. | It´s time to collect grass to be sent for analysis. |
 |
 |
| At the waterhole we camped and sleept under the stars. Few places on earth is as beautiful as this. | In the morning I woke up turned my head to the right and saw six wild horses grassed just a few meters from me. Wow, what a magic moment. |
DAY 10 I don't want to go home!
 |
 |
| Tough to say goodbye! We are on our way home and make a stop by the caves. The paintings are made by the aborigines. | The wild chestnut suddenly appears and decides to run in front of the jeep. My heart rate went up to 200. |
ON MY WAY HOME, I'LL BE BACK
