Road Trip

Flying To Alice

This was the view out the front on a recent road trip holiday I made with my parents and sister in the June - July school holidays. I've been delayed posting these photos due to a failed hard drive. The drive is replaced thanks to a youtube how-to and I can now show you all the photos.

It's Chasmic

Standley Chasm

The wonderfully warm glow of Standley Chasm near midday in the West MacDonnell range. It is well worth a visit and make sure you arrive around noon. It takes about 20 minutes to walk up to the chasm. The midday light entering the narrow chasm makes the place glow like some surreal natural light bulb.

Glen Helen Stars

Glen Helen Southern Cross

Glen Helen Gorge under the stars of the Southern Cross. I got this photo on a recent holiday to the Northern Territory's 'Red Centre'. The cliff walls were wonderfully lit by a gibbous moon.
