... heading bush ...

This afternoon I fly to Adelaide and early tomorrow morning I join a jeep party (long-wheel-based) to tour up to Alice Springs - 10 days all told. Sometimes we sleep in tents (which we put up ourselves) other times we sleep under the stars. The temperature will vary from 8C at night to 28C during the day.

Bit apprehensive as I figure I will be the oldest in the group - fully expecting the other folks to be backpackers.

I have always wanted to see the Red Centre and this seems like the most authentic method of doing it. I have travelled extensively around the coast of Australia but this is my first venture into the outback. If this goes okay, I will then think about a trip from Darwin to Perth.

One day at a time, Julie - one day at a time.

Julie, that sounds fantastic. We went to Coober Pedy several years ago and it still remains one of our favourite trips. We spent 12-hours with the mail man doing his run between three cattle stations, taking in William Creek, the Painted Desert and Oodnadatta, and the change in scenery, even within a desert landscape, was truly amazing. Can't wait to see all your piccies! Have a wonderful time.
