Kings Canyon.....

The rim walk around the top of Kings Canyon....
.....was breathtaking!!
As you can see the views were mind blowing.

Some of the cliffs were sheer drops and I didn’t want to get too close to the edge!

Dingo!

We finished travelling the Great Central Road which brought us to......
........Kata Tjuta (The Olga’s).....
....and Uluru (Ayers Rock).  It was great to see both of these amazing landmarks for a second time.


This gorgeous dingo was wandering around camp and loved having her photo taken.  We could have patted her but they are a wild dog and it is not allowed.  Their howling during the night is something we love to hear.

Great Central Road....

“London Bridge” not far from a neat little gold mining town called Sandstone.
The start of the Great Central Road in Laverton (before you hit the dirt) which travels across the centre of Australia.
Stopping to get fuel at Warburton Roadhouse where we stayed the night.
The campground is surrounded by a high fence and the fuel is all locked in cages!

One of the many camels we have come across along the roadside.  Mostly they travel in herds which can be a bit dangerous!

On the road again......

We said goodbye to “Doreen” a gorgeous dog on the farm and headed to Moora to start our travels again.
We are about to go to The Drovers Inn for dinner.  It is a beautiful historic  pub in Moora.
Tac is posing with a soldier in Centenary Park on a beautiful sunny day!

Almost done.....

Early morning on the farm.....the full moon is dissappearing as the sun comes up. 
Tac is unloading a ute full of rocks.  It has been 5 weeks of hard yakka.  We only have one paddock left to pick!

Farming lesson....

We got to have a ride on this huge tractor whilst they planted more wheat.
This is the view out the back of the tractor window watching the seeder in action.
Our boss “Peter” is giving Tac a lesson on how the seeder works.

A storm is brewing as we close the gate after finishing the paddock.

New Norcia....

One of the huge seeding tractors on the farm.  This machinery is what plants all the different seeds and rips up all the rocks in the ground that we have to pick up.
We spent today back at New Norcia in the town built and run by the Benedictine monks.  I am standing in front of the huge doors of the orphanage for aboriginal girls built back in the 1800’s.  After walking amongst all the historical buildings we had lunch in their pub and of course sampled one or two of their Abbey Ale beers!!
