Harold & Marjie over Lake Eyre
Sunset near the Simpson Desert taken as we had Hors d'œuvres on the Big Red Sand Dune.

One of the Australian road trains we read about.

The desert South and west of Birdsville enroute toCoober Pedy, when the desert gets water is does turn green.

  1. Hi Harold & Marjie,
    You've got both sisters at the moment, Harold. We're storm stayed in Lloydminster on our way home from Edmonton. Have we got you home sick yet? Trent saved the performance this afternoon as, in the midst of the storm, the auditorium had a power failure and he and his photographic memory, in the darkness and with out a microphone, played an amazing rendition of 'How Great Thou Art' (with a little help from the 'big' fiddler) and before we were ready for it...the power was back on. Our new 'home-for- the-night has a computer for guest-use so lil'sister is turning the keyboard over to BigSister for the authenic version of good flight and great adventures. Love ya guys!!
    Wish we could trade some of our snow and ice for about 15 of your warmer degrees. Man!! What colours on the sunset photo and the contrast of the black terrain & the blue sky. What altitude gives the effect of earth curvature that we see?
    What does kangaroo.....taste like? (giggle) International Judo tournament in West Ed.Mall saw
    Doug with silver and daughter Kyla also with silver in their appropriate catagories. Drew, who is now 6'2", competed after we left. Chatted with the whole family. They were delighted and surprised to see us. Safe flights. Will 'talk' later. Big Sis.
