TRANSLATE 6. Our driving continues along the Stuart Highway. On the dead straight road its easy to overtake a roadtrain with a length of 50m.

Fuelstop after 282km in "Barrow Creek". Barrow Creek is a godforsaken point in the middle of nowhere - some houses in the outback, one of them a pub, and 5 habitants all together.

The bank in the pub of the Barrow Creek Hotel.

The wall behind the bar is wallpapered with bank notes over 3.000 Dollar. Every bank note is signed by his holder. The bank note is subscripted by name and date and is pinned on the wall. At next visit the savings deposit can be converted to "fluent currency". There are no interest rates. At home in europe, some tourist boasts with the savings account in Australia. Also the truckies and farmers use the avantages of the Creek Bank.
