Australia has several iconic places: Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef,
and the Sydney Opera House head the list. We'd had family holidays
at the Reef and in Sydney, but not at Uluru.
So during the school and university
break in the middle of 2009, we went to Central Australia for a
couple of weeks.
We started at
Uluru and
Kata Tjuta;
then drove via
Kings Canyon and
the Mereenie Loop Road to the
western MacDonnell ranges;
then to
Alice Springs, the
eastern MacDonnell ranges, and
Chambers Pillar on the edge of the
Simpson Desert;
and finally to the
Devil's Marbles.
We love the feeling of endless space in the Northern Territory.
