By the Billabong (Reflecting on the Australian Outback)

Trilby Station
The Australian Outback

 

Somebody asked me the other day, where is the Australian Outback, Baz…

I find it is a place that is often hard to describe, almost a state of mind, but here is how I picture the Outback, in my mind at least…

And we are on a countdown to our next trip coming up in April, The Flinders Ranges and Birdsville Track!

    Most of the wonderful places I’ve been really are also a state of mind.

    “…hard to describe, almost a state of mind…”. That is a wonderful description of the Outback! Very much like what I have found “Rural Oregon” to be like for me.

      Our deserts have lots of vegetation, unlike those elsewhere in the world, mind you, the area in the picture is beside the Darling River… Cheers Baz
