The roads can be long, straight and deserted.
It is not unusal to drive for 250 miles in a straight line
without seeing another car!
In the harsh desert conditions of the Australian outback,
Simon's 6-Cylinder factory-turbo Toyota Landcruiser
is an appropriate vehicle for exploration
of the former woolshed built in 1850,
now preserved as a historic heritage site
This year the desert has come to life with fresh growth after recent rains
Flood waters from further north in Queensland drain into the River Darling
that flows through the Kinchega National Park.
Lakes that have been dry for over a decade are now brimming full
as the River Darling flowed into the flood plain
The gum trees, now with wet roots, have lush new growth
I shall show more pictures of the Kinchega lakes
and some of the wildlife in my next post
Look forward to more photos.
ReplyDeleteThose roads look as though they could be tedious to cycle on, but at least with no traffic they would be safe!
Ah, the famous Outback. Would hate to be stranded there. Marvelous photos. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteFantastic sites!
ReplyDeleteThe road is as straight as I-95 from Washington DC to the Florida Keys, but drivers on that road can only dream about not seeing another car for miles on end. ;-)
They are only as safe as the road trains will allow Lorenzo and at night the kangaroos jump out in front of the car. Wait until you see the dirt roads!
ReplyDeleteNice. Not much in the way of birds, there?
