Outback Road, Karijini National Park, WA

This amazing road can be found in Karijini National Park, Western Australia.
It is located not too far from Weano Gorge, be careful though it is quite corrugated and I would recommend a 4x4.

As I have said Karijini is a beautiful place yet relitively unknown. It is a must visit if you are in the area.

Kings Canyon

This contrasting shot was taken under the clear skies of Kings Canyon.

I still never tire of seeing the red earth against the aswesome blue sky.
We spent the night after Kings Canyon on a station even though it was 25C in the day it got down to near freezing that night. In a tent that's pretty cold!!!

Nature's Window Kalbarri NP

This amazing rock formation is Nature's Window (For obvious reasons) and can be found in Kalnarri National Park Western Australia. Pretty amazing place....

Australia's Red Earth

This shot depicts how red the soil can get here in Australia.
It was taken in Francois Peron National Park, Western Australia.

Kata Tjuta - The Olgas

This is the famous neighbour of Uluru in the Northern Territory. It is a significant Aboriginal sacred place. The drive from uluru to here is around 30 mins and definitely worth it.

Daly Waters Pub

This in one of 'THE' famous outback pubs and to see this beutiful tree in flower there was a bonus. This pub also boasts Australia's most remote set of traffic lights!! A wonderful place to stop for a refresher.

Australia's Massive Distances - Birdsville

Some of the signs here always amuse me with how far away they sign places.
This one shows just how remote Birdsville in the outback desert really is.

Although when you here about inexperienced travellers wanting to see the whole lot in 3 weeks perhaps you can understand.
This isn't the biggest I have seen here - on the Warrego Hwy out of Brisbane there is a sign for Darwin - 3437 kms! Can anyone beat that? I am interested.

Tunnel Creek - Gibb River Road

This is the view from the inside of Tunnel Creek in Western Australia looking out through a roof collapse in the tunnel. Quite an eerie place.

Wildlife Wednesday 19 - Thorny Devil

This cute little guy is a Thorny Devil and lives in the deserts of outback Australia. It is pretty easy to see where he gets his name! Wouldn't want to bite him if you were a predator would you!

The Pinnacles, Nambung National Park near Cervantes

This amazing place near the coast of Western Australia is Nambung National Park or 'The Pinnacles'. It is a very strange place with these fomations jutting up out of the sand.

Famous old Hotel - Birdsville

This hotel is an outback icon, Birdsville is famous for it's races held in September. This hotel for that one day must be the busiest in Australia. For a town with a pop of 120 that is pretty good going!

Outback Fuel Station - Mungarannie

These are the fuel pumps at Mungarannie station. It is the only stopping point for travellers on the 600 odd km outback road - The Birdsville Track.

There are no sealed roads in any direction for 100's of kms and we found it very strange that even the fuel station is unsealed. Hate to see what it looked like in the rain!

Explosive Road Train - Nullarbor

This slightly scary truck was parked up just as we were about to embark on the long trek across the Nullarbor. We snapped this out of the car window.

100th Post today!! Favourite Destination

Well this is my 100th Post and I thought I would dedicate it to our favourite destination and the new friends we made there.

Cape York was the Destination and Sandy and Elliott were our friends.
This is all of us enjoying Twin Falls all to ourselves. The whole story of the trip can be found here - Trip Around Australia Blog

Underground Hotel - White Cliffs

White Cliffs is a strange town, it only exists because Opals are found there. People there live underground to avoid the summer heat - it stays a constant 21 degrees. We just had to stay in the hotel - very quiet compared to all the camping!

Flinders Ranges

This is a beautiful shot of an old rugged terrain. The Flinders is one of the most amazing places on this earth. I have plenty of shots from here and I won't be afraid to return to them! Amazing place.....

Outback Sunset

This shot was taken in North Western Queensland. It is one of my favourites and reminds me so much of our time in the remoter parts of this land.

Uluru Climb

This interesting shot was taken after I made the momentus climb to the top of Uluru (Ayers Rock) The small things you can see on the ground are cars and campers! I felt like I was up as high as a plane. The climb is VERY steep and tiring - it should not be attempted by the nervous or unfit.

'Big Red' Sand Dune - Simpson Desert NP

Hi All - I am back on the web after my house move....

This is a photo from the top of 'Big Red'.
Big Red is the largest sand dune in the Simpson Desert and is also the most easterly dune. This means if you are travelling from Mt Dare in the west to Birdsville in the east(Across the 'Simmo' as it is affectionatley known), Big Red will be your final and toughest test.
Our car was not capable of crossing the Simpson unfortunately (can't carry enough fuel) but we were able to drive to the top of 'Big Red'. It was just a case of letting the tyres down a bit and giving it plenty of gas to keep going.
I have added a fun 2nd photo as proof of our achievement!! :)
