Random Photos from the Red Centre

Our to guides in the Red Centre around Uluru continually told us that the distances were so big that we were nearer to the International Space Station than to Alice Springs.  Truth? I don't care it felt the most remote I have been since I was out in the Pampas de Castillo in 1969.

Heat was also a problem but not for this lady sitting in the sun with a Magnum stuck in her mouth reviewing her pics. 

 

The monument at the middle(?) of the Red Centre Way reflected the colour of the earth, caused by ferrous oxide or rust as we know it, and the heat of the day.

Cloud formations are unusually indistinct to a UK eye.  They look fuzzy.  Consensus among those pretending to be in the know is the wind blew them into that shape.  A lot of scientific thought went into that one!  Still they looked strange to me.
