Day 137 - Thurs 23rd July: Devils Marbles


More red stone today....this time in the shape of the Devils Marbles, a result of millions of years of erosion.

Day 136 - Weds 22nd July: West MacDonnell Ranges

We had a spare day in Alice Springs and one of the bus drivers offered to take us out to the West MacDonnell Ranges on his day off. Here's an artsy photo that would make an IKEA canvas print salesman happy. Also one for DOF fans.

Day 134 - Mon 20th July: Kings Canyon


Went for an awesome guided walk around Kings Canyon today, learning about all the plant life and how the Aborigines used them to live of the land. Great views too, but here's a pic of tour guide Jules pretending to fall off the edge of the canyon. Don't worry, he was fine...there's another ledge below.
There was a long drive to Alice Springs today, but the time passes pretty quickly when you play bus cricket. Possibly the best driving game ever.

Day 133 - Sun 19th July: The Red Centre


Look how red the sand is here -that's oxidising iron on a big scale

Day 132 - Sat 18th July: Uluru at sunset

Perhaps not the best picture I took all day, but def one of the most iconic and cliched.
Picture of Uluru at sunset? Done!
