Another longish drive today, but the last for a couple of days. Coober Pedy to Wilmington (across the ranges from Pt Augusta). Major changes to the landscape (eventually . . . the first few hours were very flat, very treeless, very straight. . . and I'd thought Alice to Coober was a bit same-same . . . pah!).
I've been doing lots of looking at trees (when they have deigned to show up), the almost African looking acacia umbrellas of central Aus, and then the chunkier, lumpier, clumpier sort further south. Never quite managed to get the shots out the car window I wanted (tho this improved after we cleaned the windows at a fuel stop), so will have to rely on this now mid-centurian visual memory. Will also get the sketchbook out and do a bit of that en route too, when I'm not reading Oscar's manual to find out what that orange light of a car skidding was that turned up on the dashboard after Bean overtook a big truck . . . and getting the music to play from my phone to the speakers . . . ah first world problems indeed!
