After our encounter with the 'Willy Willy' I thought I might do a general post after we discussed once more how much of our trip we take for granted. Often I don't mention things in our daily blog as they seem common to us, but they are not to others and I know some reading this blog will be interested.
Our Highways are diverse and not all 4 laned and fast. They can be single-laned with soft dirt edges or no edges at all. Especially difficult when a road train or wide load is coming at you and you have to get out of their way. They may be unfenced with cattle grids, where cattle, wild horses and camels will stray and you have to prop and wait for them to move. This is also the case with lizards, turtles and emus. We have also stopped in the middle of the road to watch a Perentie and a dragon lizard cross, to watch Wedge Tail Eagles feed on a carcass. In the last week we have seen up to 4 or 5 eagles on the one carcass. We also had several days in the Qld outback where we drove through Locust swarms (nowhere near as bad as the one out of Broken Hill years ago when the sky was black with them and we arrived in BH to find everything green eaten!)
All these types of Highways we have traversed in the last few weeks.
