Muddy Evidence

The evidence of hundreds of kilometres of driving through boggy sections of track along the Ghan Heritage way in the Territory and South Australia.

Quagmire

A quaggy bogmier just north of the Mount Dare Hotel. This was the beginning of a muddy section that went for around a kilometre. A few vehicles took on the mud and spun their wheels for hours to move a few hundred metres further toward their goal of crossing the Simpson Desert. We chose to turn around at this point and let the weather have its way.

Witjira

The remote Witjira National Park in South Australia. The road to here was boggy in places, but little did we know it was to get even boggier.

Aputula Finke

The town of Finke or Aputula in the Northern Territory was a marker on a route in to the old Ghan Heritage way south toward the Mount Dare Station in South Australia.

Geographic Centre

The Lambert's measure of the geographical centre of Australia. Unfortunately due to a bog hole and lack of time to walk, we did not reach this location on this trip. Next time...

Nocturnal Tracks

The trails of desert animals in the morning sand, left in the nocturnal hours while tourists remain at camp.

Camp Connor

A campsite for the evening at the Mount Connor lookout on the Red Centre Way, along the road to Uluru.

Opal Bug

The opal bug in Coober Pedy. A strange little town, reminiscent of a Mad Max scene.

Marble Stop

Stopped at the Devil's Marbles (Karlu Karlu) for a quick photo break.

Road Trip

A recent road trip brought me into the Northern Territory of Australia. A beautiful place with many things to see.
