Darwin to Crookwell. Amusing and amazing

The recent dash from Darwin to Crookwell meant we didn't stop for sight seeing. In fact a lot of my photos were taken from inside the car. Well would you get out if it was either 38 degrees or there was lightening crashing down?

So the sky. Spectacular cloud formations, sunset as we hunted for a camp and smoke from the many fires.

Another sunset.

Sun in the passenger window

Storm clouds just north of Pt Augusta. I couldn't
time it to get a shot of the lightening

Strange sights. A very unique tourist bus that is a cross between a sleeper car and a normal Greyhound bus. Boulders near the Devil's Marbles site. The strange alien at Wycliffe Well the UFO capital of Australia.

Devil's Marbles turn off is just ahead

Some kind of hybrid bus sleeper cabin

The landscape changes hourly.

Rain on the windscreen

Dry hot and brown

Red dirt

Last hotel in NT

Much greener camp between Hay and Narrandra

We did however find time to revisit an important tradition. Breakfast at Banrock Station Winery in SA's Riverland. We try to stock up both good food and good wine here every time we go past.

Decision time

 All set up on the farm now. Sheep and lambs grazing outside.

Sheep and a lamb or two at the farm.
This is the view from my doorstep for the next month or so.
