Outback Queensland

.Reading time 10 minutes.

I decide to drive to Toowoomba, near the coast, along a couple of cities that lie inside Outback Queensland.
So next days are counting kilometers. The first leg goes from Birdsville over Betoota – a ghost town since 1997 when the only citizen died – and Windorah to Stonehenge. During this leg, the desert landscape changes in one with lots of trees and water. The kangaroos finally return, lots of cattle, some emoes, brolga’s and a snake under my wheels…
But best of all! Less flies with every mile crossed.

Binns Track

.Reading time 8 minutes.

After weeks repairing the car and being struck in Alice, it feels great to be mobile again! I want to drive along some dirt roads to the famous Devils Marbles near Tennant Creek. This alternative route opened some 4 years ago and is called the Binns Track. The entire Binns is much longer, but I take just that part.
The beginning of the track starts in the East MacDonnels Ranges.

Alice Springs and the Red Centre Way

.Reading time 17 minutes.

In Alice we need to refill our supplies and we have to buy some stuff before leaving the city. Both of us really like this spot, the people here are very friendly and helpful. This city has an unbelievable environment that surrounds it. We taste it a couple of times during all our shopping… All these days in town we don’t find a gap to do some sightseeing. The only thing we pay a visit, is the Anzac Hill, with a superb town view.
