Road trip to the centre of Australia
 

Next Saturday, we are off on a red dirt adventure.....2285kms (1420 miles), thats a lot of time in a car with 2 little boys, but the dvd players will help.

YAY...2 weeks away

Cant wait to do Uluru (Ayers Rock) and stay in Coober Pedy.

Do you want pics?

Take plenty of pictures! I want to live vicariously through you, since I doubt this is a trip I will ever get to make (for all that Australia is on my "Countries to visit before I die" list.)

Come on now, is that a serious question?

weeeellll.....just checking

Bullshit, you were just teasing us... again. :p

Got home last nite.

Such a great trip, the scenery changed sooo much from hour to hour. Crops, mulga, desert, rocks....just amazing.

Im really glad to be home, but it was heaps of fun.

Just need to organise my pics.

I can't wait to see them - I'd love to do that trip.

I love that Cellar parents take their kids on road-trips. Growing up in the 70s it wasn't really done much. Even friends with money only stayed in hotels as opposed to tents in the same seaside places. We were lucky in that we got to spend a lot of time in London because our family was there.

"Load drip to the centre of Arse, areola"

in a big pink bus?

ETA: Okay, I guess the bus wasn't actually pink . . . but it should have been.

If you dig through the earth from the center of Australia you'll end up only a very short distance from our house. We'd drive over to pick you up and you could visit for a while. We've got maple syrup.

Very interesting. I can't wait to see the pics. Put them on one of those online host sites like Flickr or Picasa so we can see them all.

Still editing and sorting, but at least you can have a squizz :)

Beautiful photos.
I was just thinking, "That's exactly how I picture Australia" and then remembered that's because I have rellies there and have seen their photos :)

Would love to see more as you sort them.

Some of the areas remind me a lot of places out in Arizona, but others seem like landscapes from another world. Thank you very much for sharing these.
Also -- what is the deal with the wild camels? I didn't think camels were native to Australia. Were they brought over to work as pack animals on the desert terrain?
