The Red Centre.

The locations around the middle of Australia is often referred to as "The Red Centre" and looking at these two photos, it is easy to see where the name comes from.












The two photos here were taken near Yulara, west of Alice Springs. It is typical of the country in the centre of Australia with the deep rich red colours and the bright green bushes growing in the same area.

While the dirt is red, it is by no means dirty. When you walk in this dirt, it falls straight off of your shoes without leaving any dirty and dusty tell tales behind. It behaves a lot like beach sand.

Sails in the Desert.

Imagine that you have been wondering the outback of Australia for a week, your body was drained of all fluids that there was nothing left in your body to create sweat. Suddenly you looked up and found what you see in the photo.

You would have to think that you had died and gone to heaven.

Never in their wildest dreams could those early explorers have imagined such comfort, such luxury, right in the heart of the outback.






This outstanding place is called "Sails in the Desert Hotel" which makes up part of the Yulara Resort which can be found in the Northern Territory of Australia.

The area is approximately located in the middle of Australia and slightly to the left. It is easily accessed by road or air and is well known for being the overnight accommodation area when visiting the world famous Ayers Rock.
