final frontier - from the coast to the Red Centre We now just 1 month on the road and as you can imagine, we have already experienced a lot!
The first big adventure was the real outback.
We have indeed gone through and read us very well prepared, but what awaited us there exceeded all our expectations!
Our route led from Byron Bay in a westerly direction through the green and hilly farmland to Bourke, until then, the streets were still paved ...
The Aussies like to use the phrase "Back O Bourke" which relates to the area north, south and west from there and translated means: "There where the pepper grows" ...
The final preparations were made, stored feed and water for 2 weeks and replaced the wheels could begin Nowhere in the red.
First, we were greeted by a snake by the roadside, we Kangaroos looked curiously out of the bushes and the temperature rose to 50 °, Welcome to the Outback!
The "Street" changed from deep sand to gravel road and off every 500 KM was a pub which was also petrol station, poor police in a supermarket and, just as one might imagine. The diverse landscape
series inspired us total, beautiful colors as far as the eye and the realization of how small is man.
The only thing annoying really incredible, these thousands and thousands and very bold flies, which swarmed from sunrise to sunset you will.
Our first destination was the Sturt National Park, determined by observing more than 100 kangaroos were, some were even up to 2m high. Most of the intimate marsupials were just as curious about us as we find it so we could collect nice picture of the daily family life of the Roos. It went on to a well-known Outback Track to Lake Eyre, an oversized, ausgetrockneteken salt lake (which is filled only once a decade) in order to see only white sand dunes and tire remains on the roadside. The civilization reached us again until in Coober Pedy, a tourist village on the Opalabbau lives at the North South Highway. Edging the dwellings of the inhabitants, because they build their homes under the ground to protect themselves from the heat.
drove from there to the north, we highlight the most famous of Australia, Ayers Rock. This gigantic monolith looks really great, at sunrise, he was immersed in deep red, and we witnessed a spectacular light show.
The same lying nearby Olgas, round rocks, some larger than Uluru itself were beautiful to look at.
But we already have to admit honestly that the Ayers Rock, as well as its famous neighbor just huge stones, so we removed the approximately 200 km Kings Canyon tied to a lot more.
This is actually made of red sand which was shaped by millions of years by wind and water to a beautiful sandstone crater, it looked like thousands of overlying slates and the image invited to the craziest photos. We hiked along the crater rim, the canyon was covered by lush green palm tree and were surrounded by slick rock walls, it looked simply amazing!
The Kings Canyon is located in Aboriginal land and the yield on early road was very adventurous! The severe potholes and deep sand forced us to drive very slowly, but the runway was so much fun and so we saw even more animals. Absolute highlight: We saw a wild camel. A camel! It was so peaceful along the way, settled by us absolutely not interfere, and smiled all the time symaptisch to himself. Just before we
saw a dingo, Australia's wild dogs, and wild horses in beautiful white, brown and black. Not to mention
also an intimate Roo!
On this day we offered a broken-down on the track family our expert help and Radwechseln to join forces and several attempts we managed it and even been rewarded with a cool beer.
As you will see us here, absolutely not boring and we hope you're all doing well!
