Or means of travel.  This 44 foot stretch Mercedes

Driving up to Uluru (Aires Rock).  This world's largest naked monolith is about 9km around the base

This is Uluru from Piper twin prop

This one confused me.  I thought THIS was Aires rock, but it's actually Mt. Conner.  Much larger around than Uluru, it's very mysterious to look at

We visited a lot of rocks.  This one is Kings Canyon, and has some still water left from the last rain.

I'll be you didn't see one of these running around!  Very cool wildlife.

Let's play a game.

This is our Piper twin prop.

This Robinson heli took us to the Kings Canyon where we hiked the rim for 2/5 hours (6km)

Camp fire on Swag night.

We visited many cave sites with aboriginal art from up to 40,000 years ago.  This was 15,000 years old.

And this one even older. They use the content of the art such as extinct animals to identify the age.

This is cracked boulder at "Devils Marbles" formation

This one is barely balanced.  Look at my trying to push it over.  What possibly could go right about that?

This outcropping in Kakadu national park was photo graphed from my seat in a Cessna 207.  The park is simply extraordinary.

These little guys live all over the outback.  Sticking to walls waiting for a flying insect to come into range.  This one was on the toilet stall wall.

On this Katharine Gorge boat cruise, I wanted to show how still the water was (until we disturbed it).  This crock filled gorge is 40 meters deep in the dry season (now) and rises 12 more meters in the wet.  But the surface was like a mirror.

The Yellow water area of Kakadu was full or lilies and orchids.  This one was particularly nice.

This sunset over a lookout in Kakadu was spectacular.

Uluru has some amazing rock formations on it.  Check out the sliver on the left.  It's 200 meters tall

This is a nearby formation called the Olgas.  Actually bigger and taller than Uluru, it's formed in a completely different way

This formation in Uluru is quit weird.  How did it get there?

Here I'm leaning against Uluru.  There is no good way to get a sense of scale without actually being there.

Our campsite.  We slept in "Swags" for 1 night.  Under the stars and wind.  Very ....  interesting.

Can you tell which one is Dahna

Mars?  Australia?  Did we really go to Mars?  The sand here is this color red from high iron content.

Just to give perspective, we were in the middle of no-where.

Sheer wall at the gorge

Wycliffe Well, population 20.  But alien UFO capital of Australia

A green alien?  This place was 100% weird

We used almost every mode of transport, including these quad bikes to get around the outback.

Kells. Prolly the funnest person on the trip!   A true Kiwi! (that's a good thing)

Partying at night Aussie stile.  They lifted us up onto saddles in the rafters of the steakhouse.  This is where I ate Emu, Kamle, Kangaroo, and Crocodile.  Yum (all except Emu).

It wouldn't be a complete visit to the Aussie "top end" (North) without seeing a live Croc up close and personal. (just don't get out of the boat here)  That guy is 14 feet long.

This panorama made me think of the Lion king.  Still in Kakadu

The aboriginals still use back burning to control the forest and natural fires.  By burning brush in controlled ways during the cooler months, they avoid full on fires.  This is a mixture of smoke and fog in the forest.

This is the park (Kakadu) entrance.  We made quite a spectacle on the highway.  If you look carefully, you can see a few of the guys dressed in frocks.

And here we are crossing the Tropic of Capricorn
