Our Tour of OZ has been over for quite some time now but we still wanted to share the last leg of our journey on the desert tracks in the middle of the country.
Still a lot of fine sand, dunes and stunning reds, especially at dawn and dusk in this last chapter. Another few side trips in this really sparsely populated part of the country but always a surprising landscape. Then it was back onto bitumen, heading straight east towards our final destination: Brisbane.
It is not without some sadness and regrets that we see this fabulous adventure come to an end. We’ve only managed to share a few photos and stories in this blog but we leave Australia with so much more unforgettable memories which are going to stay with us for a very, very long time.
