Desert Oaks are skinny when young but once their roots hit water they get bushier

Desert Oak bark. Thick to protect against fire

Grevilleas are just starting to come out

Itinerary and distances we will walk each day

Calm before the hard work begins!

August 12 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

Our walk starts tomorrow so today was very quiet - which means not many photos. We had a leisurely breakfast followed by another supermarket visit to score some critical supplies.

The Yulara IGA is pretty good. It is considerably more expensive than what you would get in Sydney but then the nearest competitor is in Alice Springs, nearly 5 hours drive away!

We checked out the local art gallery before high tea at the hotel for lunch followed by a walk around the town of Yulara.

Am really looking forward to starting our walk tomorrow. We may not have internet access the whole time but will catch up when we get back online.Read more
