The Long Road North….

…such a long drive, however, no matter how many times I have travelled this road it never ceases to amaze me.  This is certainly one interesting trek!  Lonely travellers with their dogs as companions; grey nomads taking their time; or young families & couples just simply enjoying life; all are getting out of the matrix whether for a short time or perhaps a rather long time & experiencing this wide expanse of land that I call home.  The road though long, is certainly not boring, the contrasts of colours are wonderful – blood red dirt; pink, purple, white, yellow wild flowers; green lush grasses; bluest of blue open skies; the longest road trains that you will ever see; a vast array of animals including ospreys, wedge tail eagles, emus, kangaroos, sheep, cattle that are as large as our land cruiser (no joke), wild horses, foxes, rabbits, HUGE goannas – there’s also unfortunately way too much road kill!  There’s so much driving plenty of time for thinking, thinking, thinking or perhaps read a book, while the ipod shuffles or listen to a audio book, oh & forgot to mention to take photographs!  Not too much map reading these days, we have recently purchased a Tom Tom, which is perfect for the cities, oh my goodness why did I not get one of these earlier?  Xxx
