Sharing the Road.

When traveling north from Port Augusta in South Australia through to Darwin in the Northern Territory, these two road users share the same highways.

The large triple road train rolls along at speed up to 100 km per hour while the smaller 4WD & caravan will move along at speeds averaging approximately 90 km per hour. Most with common 2 way radio communication share the roads in harmony.

Sand Hills



After being away for several weeks, we are back with lots of photos that have been taken between Port Augusta in South Australia to Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.













These two were taken near Yulara in the Northern Territory and show how red the sand is in that region.

It depends on the time of the day as to how red the sand will appear. The sky will also change it's blue to a very deep and amazing colour.

Port Augusta S.A.

We were at Port Augusta over the weekend and woke Sunday morning to a still and windless morning.

This photo was taken from the old tank lookout which gives good views of the top of the Gulf where you can look at the bridges as well as the Power House.








The sunrise effect on this one gives the bridge supports a golden glow, but along with the early morning glow comes the shadows.










The small jetty on the west side had the best reflections with the sun shining over my left shoulder.
