In Love with the Outback

More fave pics of the "outback" section of our trip.....

The colour of the earth at this rest stop between Cobar and Wilcannia was amazing.....we put some in a jar for the kids to take to show-and-tell....


The Desert Sculptures at Broken Hill are a photographers dream...


Broken Hill is like art central......galleries on every corner and sculptures all over town......is it any wonder with so much natural beauty to inspire.  We fell in love with Julie Hart's work (Pro Hart's daughter) and bought this print at her gallery.....



How cute is this funky retro tea towel.....?


....made all the more groovy because I picked it up at the famous Bells Cafe....a 50's style cafe that looks like it belongs on the set of Grease.....you can just picture Danny and Sandy sitting there sipping their spiders.....


Every where you turn at the Flinders Ranges there is an amazing panorama to snap.....the mountains look like they're about to slide into the ground.....disconcerting and spectacular at the same time...


We explored the most serene and amazing gorge there where the light was just magical....snapped lots of pics of the girls....this one of Mimi was my fave...


Seem to have quite a few through-the-windscreen shots taken as we were driving along......we were shocked at how lush it was.......so much for the "arid west"!


Everyone keeps asking how Tim & I stayed sane for over 4000km and 50 hours in the car with three siblings shoulder to shoulder in the back seat. At times it was pretty tough I must say!....but we tried to keep things interesting.....one of our games was wildlife spotting......we saw an unbelievable amount of these.....


.....the final tally was 83!  We have decided that emus are really cool...

Bit of a drag to be back to the old routine.....work.....housework.....ferrying kids.....think
I need to start planning the next trip!
