Rock and root is so lovely! And the Milky Way is stunning.

What amazing adventures you had out there Ralph, these are fabulous!

Those 'roads' look pretty hairaising (although our local roads are starting to resemble dirt tracks themselves with all the pot holes!!) but worth journeying to get to so many beautiful places. Of course I love the resilience of nature personified by that tree's roots coming from the rock; what a giant of a Eucalyptus and that night sky photo might have been a bit 'heath robinson' but it worked beautifully...another amazing memory.

I've really enjoyed 'sharing' your travels in the Outback - you've created some wonderful forever memories made all the more poignant by the loss of Pete...this is such a wonderful tribute to the fun time you spent with him, Meg and your family.

Very impressive travelogue, and beautifully illustrated! Ending with a very good looking lighthouse 👍

What an ab-soul-utly unforgettable journey, Ralph! I could feel the dust, vastness and quiet magick of those ancient places through your words. Your images ... I'm sure these are but only a few! ... carry such reverence for the land, its history and its wild, generous beauty. And the way you honour Meg and Pete adds a tender, loving thread that makes your post even more moving.

Thank you so much for taking us along with you on this second part of your Outback adventure. You, Tonka and the gang are lingering long after reading. What incredible memories! And I loved that there were no images of the night sky ... your poetic words said all there was needed to say. 🙏💖✨

More adventuring! Such a wild place. So cool you got the Milky Way. And always love a lighthouse. Other than the pesky flies you mentioned, it looks like you had a great time!! Thanks for sharing.

Many thanks, KB. Sadly, even corked hats didn't really cut it with the flies, they were too persistent lol.

Amazing photos, Ralph. The scenery is stunning but you really get a sense of how alone you would be out there in the wilderness. Thanks for sharing your great adventure.
