In Perth, we had an opportunity to take a 4 wheel drive trip for about a week into the Outback with our friends Roland and Penny.
One of the out-of-the-way tourist spots in Western Australia: Wave Rock
Surfing the rock
Scouting for the campsite
dragon
Narrow track that we drove for days. Absolutely nothing man made out here... except the trail.
Two Toyota Landcrusiers out in the bush
Ancient Aboriginal water hole
Fire good. Sausages good. Beer good.
Almost everything was cooked over, around or in the campfire
One seriously decked out Landcruiser. Yes that is a refridgerator.

If you ever travel to the Outback, bring a headnet. Flies were our constant companions
One wild ass
If "nowhere" has a middle, this is it
Exploring a cave for aboriginal art
Who knew 100 year-old telegraph poles in the middle of a dried salt lake bed could be so much fun?
On the go!
Barreling down a red desert track
Cape Arid National Park
Road? What road?

Stopping for lunch on the beach - Cape Arid
Huge Banksia flower
Early in the morning rolling out of bed. The best place to sleep is on top in the swag under the stars. Comfortable mattress, sheets, pillows and nothing poisoness wanting to crawl in bed with you at night.

200 series Landcruiser on the beach in Cape Legrande National Park
This is seriously what it is all about
Blue tongued lizard
Even Landcruisers get stuck in the deep sand
However with an electric winch on the front getting stuk is only temporary
Dropping straight down into the river bed
And up the other side only to get stuck very deep in the sand
After driving 20 miles down the beach, we need a stretch

Australian Christmas Tree
Gives new meaning to the phrase: "how do you want that cut?"
