Art gallery and Botanic Garden
Day 114 – Adelaide, Australia To make up for my previous lazy day, I went on a combo Art Gallery + Botanic Garden. Exactly what I did in Darwin, though I did it in a different order there. I went on the free bus that makes a loop around Adelaide. Of course, this being the…
Clouds and rain and puddles, oh my.
Day 112 – Adelaide, Australia I didn’t do much today, walked around trying to find a warm fleece jacket/pullover, but I noticed the drizzle -haven’t had a drizzle in month-, the puddles that stay on the ground, and the cool temperatures. Water! Cold water! Puddles! Drizzle! Yoohoo! I haven’t had any in months (I’m not…
Coober Pedy
Day 111 – Coober Pedy, Australia The joys of sleeping in underground caves with a flimsy curtain separating you from the corridor include running children at all hours, shouting, laughter, and goosing of said curtain because it is very fun to disturb people trying to sleep behind it. Of course, the same children are the…
Good-bye Alice
Day 110 – Coober Pedy, Australia I waved a metaphoric good-bye to Alice Springs this morning. 8 hours of bus and I’m at Coober Pedy, a town that lives around opal mining. It’s too late tonight to explore, but I got the whole day tomorrow before leaving again, driving through the night to Adelaide. I…
Desert song festival
Day 108 – Ormiston Gorge, Australia So yesterday, a fellow traveller told me about this a cappella concert in the wild, and did I wish to come listen with her and her friends: either there would be a place in their car, or there was a bus going there. So I said “sure”, and that…

Sewing
Day 102 – Alice Springs, Australia I have three days of adventures and pictures (so many pictures!) to narrate, sift through, and present in an interesting and cohesive way. Woohoo! So that’s taking some time, and I’ll back-publish the articles at the right time but let you know when they are online. Between the early…
Uluru tour – Day Three: King’s Canyon
Day 101 – Kings Canyon, Australia New morning, new day. Well, new very early morning, the third in a row, new day. Our guide dragged himself up to give us the day’s schedule. He would drop us off at Kings Canyon to join another group for the visit, while he went to the medical centre.…
Uluru tour – Day Two: Kata Tjuta
Day 100 – Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia The day started before dawn at 4:30 am, when our guide, having relit the fire, put some music to wake us up. Let’s just say that it was cold outside. After a quick breakfast, rolling up of the swags, cleaning up, we were on the road to…
Uluru tour – Day one: Uluru
Day 99 – Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia To go see Uluru, or the big red rock formerly called Ayers Rock, everybody knows, you have to go to Alice Springs. You can then, like me, think that Alice Springs is a few kilometres from Uluru, or even at the foot of the rock. Or you can…
