The walk up Uluru, the white streak is remnants of rubber soles.Climbing is discouraged as when people fall and die, tradition has it, that their soul remains on the Rock. The Aboriginal people prefer not to have foreign soles/souls on their rock.
Just in case you thought we did not have time for meals. This is "Sounds of Silence" under the Desert Stars, followed by a short Astronomy lesson.

When the Cessna's aren't working this is our alternate mode of transport. There reportedly are a million Camels in Australia, most of them feral, supposedly more than in the Middle East.



This is the bar at William Creek, population 2. In Australia all communities have a pub, no pub no community.Note the various articles of clothing left behind by Patrons, Bra's do double duty as collection containers for Brush fire victims.

The break away hills, near Coober Pedy. The industry at Coober Pedy is primarily Opal mining.

  1. Opals, Silence, White Camels, & Wine!! Glad you can take it all in and share with us. Good thing H & M are in good shape and can do the 'long pull'. Haven't ever seen so much 'brown' unless it compares to melting snow this time of year. Jean
