The first day of the journey...


Can you believe we drove 845 km on the first day? Here we are in Coober Pedy.... the Opal Capital of the World.




The Northern Territory...

Here's Huge at the border between South Australia and the Northern Territory. Huge and I joined Kim and Patrick, our American friends, to drive this lovely silver Outback through the outback...

Uluru (The Rock)

Massive...and changing colours in the sunset. It's everything one expects.

'nuff said?

The Climb...


It took about two hours. There was no way Huge was going to do it without me! What a view!



















On the way up, it was summer. At the top? Brrr!

Modern dance...

While we were at The Kings Canyon Resort... we took in steak and entertainment at a true Aussie BBQ! The performers were The Roadies. Their gig is all about good ol' Aussie tunes and audience participation! Huge had his debut...interpretive dance to Home Among the Gum Trees... I was so proud!

Kings Canyon




Kings Canyon is spectacular. With 100m walls, it makes for an exhilarating 6km hike... the steep climb up the cliff face left us pretty breathless but feeling alive! The view all along the canyon's rim was amazing...especially in mid-jump!
