I met some bronzed Aussies, and also found a place with some low-tech air conditioning.

On a walk home we ran into some ghosts in the night. They turned out to be the camels from the sunset tour being led back to their stables.Eerie.

More fantastic pictures. Looks like you had a great time. Wasn't there a topless beach? I think documentary photos would have been nice. :)

On the way to Halls Creek on the first night's drive, there was a series of dry creeks. At 120kph we hit the only one that wasn't totally dry. It was unsigned and a total shock. For a moment I thought we were dead.

Some of the landscape reminded me I hadn't been to Pixies for a while.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a group moving stock around with horses. The old West (Australia) still lives.

Hereby endeth the tail.

They were the white pointers, DB.

It's not counted as urbane to take pics when they have 7ft 57in boyfriends who get a tad possessive.

On the way back, we found a car crash, only a few hours old. There was no blood or effects in the car, but a classic example of keeping your mind on your driving.

No wonder the creek surprised you.:yikes: You can only see the warning signs in your rear view mirror............. after the fact. :car:









:rofl:

No doubt you decided to try some, just to see what the fuss was about ;)

Excellent travelogue...Nature's majesty always takes one's breath away...so much of your desert reminds me of the American West, including the buttes & the big honking hole in the ground.

Cool pics!!!!

BTW, the crater's a half mile across.

The Australian version of the Grand Tetons (OFT24)? :D Pixies would have come to mind. Actually, I probably would have thought about stopping and climbing to the summit. Not sure if I would have done it ... but the thought would have been there.

It has been fun reading your description of the trip. Thanks for sharing it!

If that kind of thought occurs to me, I usually sit down with a cool beverege until it goes away.

I loved the Erte' Guiness sign!

Sounds like you had a good time. What kind of temperature range does that area have???

Approaching zero at worst and 125F-ish at hottest.

Coastal Broome is a lot milder, peaking not much over 110F, down to maybe 50F.

I was just curious because Mexico is hot as a bitch in late June but your pics look like it was hotter than that.

The camel tour is amazing....makes me want to play Lawrence of Arabia at night.
