Outback Roads

So what do a couple of farmers who are long overdue for a holiday do for some time away?

Contrary to logical thinking of putting ones feet up at the beach and taking it easy, we drove 5400kms (3355miles) through western New South Wales and outback Queensland… just to have a bit of a look around.

Over the next few days I’ll give you a taste of what we saw.

Today it is all about the roads we travelled.
We were actually surprised as to how good the roads were.

You have to watch out for road trains & caravans

planes coming in to land

emus, kangaroos, pigs, camels, goats, sheep, cattle….

or nothing at all.

The ride can be smooth…

or sometimes a bit bumpy…

but always beautiful.

  5. Wow--- a very enjoyable post. Road train--- What a great description for the longer-than-normal tractor-trailer situation. There are portions of the interstates in Oregon where such things are legal. Excellent pictures.

  9. They remind me of the roads and outback tracks of Western Australia in so many ways and so often 100k and more without a bend. Sigh.

  10. I am finally getting caught up on some blog reading. I enjoyed seeing the roads well traveled and "less traveled." We traveled 1,225 miles on our trip to Colorado a couple of weeks ago.
