Northern Australia
Folder: Australia
The vast, sparsely populated Northern area of Australia is an area of savage beauty. It ranges from red, burning deserts to tropical wildernesses. It has thousands of kilometres of pristine white beaches and azure seas. The largest national park is the 20,000sq kilometer Kakadu....a UNESCO biosphere, which spends much of the wet season submerged, its waters a teeming mass of bird life, fish, sacr…

Uluru. Central Australia
Desert heat....the tiny central dots are people...
Central Australia
Travelling along the remote Birdsville track near the border of South Australia and Queensland. Despite what the landscape appears like, there are giant working cattle stations..up to a couple of million acres along here...
If there is any rain it can be impassable for weeks....and some stretches are just stone.
It is a 12-24 hour journey from Marrée to Birdsville on this road. This is quite a well kept section. There is one place to buy petrol between these two points.
One carries two spare tyres, lots of water and food, and camping gear. There is no phone reception mostly
CAMP KITCHEN
At Marree Caravan Park. In outback Australia....near Lake Eyre
This is in the centre of the desert where there has been no rain for 3 years.
Lake Eyre is a gigantic, flat salt lake. Once every 40 or so years, enough rain falls in far north Australia and flows down to enter Lake Eyre, and fill it with water. When this happens people commute thousands of kilometres to see it and to fly over it. This year it has some water, so we went up to visit!

The Birdsville Track
This dirt road inland highway from the far north of South Australia traverses some hundreds of kilometres of desert to cross the border of the state of Queensland. It essentially links two extremely remote outback towns - Marree in SA and Birdsville Qld. It is a dusty, corrugated dirt road, impassable if there is rain.
Although this was taken from a sightseeing plane over Lake Eyre, we have driven this long dirt track, to Birdsville and beyond, on a camping journey to far North Queensland.
