the centre

it surprises many people, including myself, how far we have travelled in less than three weeks. the car has already clocked six thousand kilometres since i left brisbane. are we going too fast? should we be spending more time in fewer places? all i know is i need a break from the mozzies and the flies and the twice-a-day application of 80% deet.

we spent about a week in the centre and i have completely fallen in love with the desert nothingness. in particular, i love spinifex grass. i know it's a strange thing to love but there it is. i love how it coats gorge walls and mountain sides in its fluffy green and yellow and breaks up the monotony of red and brown. there has been a few good walks too: kings canyon rim walk and section 12 of the larapinta trail to mt sounders, both visually stunning and physically satisfying. ormiston gorge was quite nice, too, in case you were wondering...
