More Photos!!!

I made it to Melbourne in one piece. My friend Kylie has been kind enough to put me up and also let me use her fast computer (well, I think it's her boyfriend Berk's but whatever) so I'm putting up even more photos!!!! Yeah!!!!

To start with, here is the previously mentioned piano playing and singing dingo.

Next up is a kangaroo that I was stalking in the woods.

This is another kangaroo that has a joey sticking out.

And to round out the 'roo section, here is a dead roo. Looks like a dingo ran off with his head!! Note the ballerina pose....

The last of my animal photos (for the moment) are these emu.

I also visited diverse landscapes. An example of lush temperate rainforest is this view of the Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains.

In contrast, I also visited lots of nothingness and even more nothingness. The ground in nothingville can get really dry sometimes. I think the dry empty desert makes people a bit mad and they make things like this for other people to find. Nice actuator man! Also this guy.

I though there was supposed to be a road around here somewhere. However, there are not many people to ask, as shown by this sign.

Everything in the Outback is big from road trains to trucks to tires.

Also big in the Outback are the beards, especially Talc Alf's. He's also got a bicycle powered washing machine.



The next batch of photos are landscapey type shots, so be patient.

The Breakaways

King's Canyon

Me after a hike

The Olgas

Flinder's Ranges I think

Along that same walk

A closeup of Uluru

Valley of the Winds

And last but not least, here are the people I travelled with. Ignore that dark haired guy in the middle, he's the pizza shop owner....

Hey chica,

Hi Claudia,
Good to see the pics - will be taking my own soon, looks like I'll be in Oz soon - oh and thanks for recommending Holy Cow - I read it before I got to India and LOADS of things about it made me laugh while I was there :)

NOvice,

Glad you liked Holy Cow. Also good reads are fictioinal novel Inscrutable Americans (21 yr old whose parents own a hair oil company send him to the US for "higher education") and for serious reading May You Be the Mother of 100 Sons. Whew, an emotional toughie to get through considering the subject... being a woman in India.

Claudia,

I have to admit, the photo of the Thorny Devil is my favorite. What a weird and interesting creature! I just got caught up on your postings, for the second time. Hope all is well and you are having a fabulous time!
