Hi all,

We haven’t had any new pictures lately, so I wanted to post a few shots for everyone who has been following us. All I had was an iPhone, but it seems like the majority of our team had dSLR cameras. Hopefully some beautiful shots will show up on our website and Flickr account soon when other members have time to upload pictures. Thanks for everyone’s support during WSC!

Nathan’s parents cooked for us every night during the race. The meals were delicious.

Our team at the end of one of the race days. This was a night when we were fortunate enough to stop near a camper van park.

Here we stopped and camped on the side of the road

Caravan!

Stopped at a control point. At all control points we had the chance to charge for a bit, swap drivers, and check tires.

After the race, we drove along to Great Ocean Road on our way back to the port in Melbourne. Here was a three story lobster statue.

The Great Ocean Road was by far the most scenic part of our entire trip. We had rolling hills, dense forests, and an impressive coastline to keep us company for three days while we made our way back to Melbourne.

Eventually we had to repack all of our belongings to send back to the US.

With Xenith packed away for another ocean voyage, our team is splitting up for our various trips. Some of us have already flown back to the US to resume classes at Stanford. Others are traveling abroad until the start of the winter quarter. We will have people in Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Japan, the Philippines and more.
