Still in Training

The sun came up this morning revealing a very different vista.

The soft geens and greys were gone, and we were now seeing the vivid light and harsh colours of the desert.

For a while we paralleled the Stuart Highway, and the only wildlife to be seen was a cluster of the grey nomad species camped overnight by the side of the road.

The soil is red,  reminding me of the country around Quilpie, but not much is moving. I saw no roos, pigs,camels or cattle. 

The Finke River (above) is the oldest in the country. It looks like it's also the driest.
