The Outback

The road across the North Atherton Tablelands was long, hot and fairly flat. Of course thats what we expected but it was so much greener than we thought, the landscape offers such a different view than the expected flat red desert of outback Australia. The other surprising thing was the diversity of wildlife on view, you only appreciate this when you stop for a break and wander around, listening, watching. The German thought I was joking when I insisted we stop for a cup of tea and slice of cake. He agreed once devoured it was both delicious and energy building.
