Everything in the outback is so far away from each other. Over the next few days we will be travelling over a thousand kilometres. The area we are covering at the moment is the size of Switzerland. It’s weird, I thought that I’d find the outback landscape boring but you see beauty in everything. The road is a bright red colour and stretches off into the distance as far as the eye can see. Emu’s race across the road along with the kangeroos. When I was reading the guide to Australia I remember seeing a picture of a huge termite mound and thinking ‘we must visit that.’ Little did I realise they are everywhere. Thousands of the things, peppering the landscape like graves in a cemetary.
