The return trip

There wasn't anything eventful on the return trip to Sydney. The scariest thing we did was a night drive from Coober Pedy to Broken Hill. All you see is black and whatever the lights manage to illuminate. I had a close call almost running over what appears to be a dingo.

I did manage to take a wonderful shot of the Breakaways. The previous shot was in the mid-morning sun. This one was right on sunset! It truly is amazing how the light changes a whole landscape.

Compare the shot to the mid-morning take

One highway, two types of landscapes

It never ceases to amaze me how the scenery changes on Australia. Yes, in the outback things are try but they are still very different. Just look at the photo below.

Early on there were more trees with the dry vegetation on the road

Later on the scenery became increasingly flat and more dry with hardly any trees
