Here’s the video from our five day trek through central Australia. There’s some footage of us enjoying some bush tucker, as well as checking out the sights around Uluru (Ayers Rock) and other highlights in the middle of the continent. For our guide’s sake, I have to say that I know they don’t traditionally play the didgeridoo in central Australia. The music just sounded right. It was written by Dean Wilmington and is by Termites at Work.

Well, we did it. We made it back to Atlanta, thus completing our trip around the world. Fortunately there were no major mishaps on the road: nothing stolen, nothing lost, no trips to the hospital, no missed flights, etc. I’d call it a pretty successful trip.
We’re going to be taking it easy for the next few days, catching up with friends and family and letting it all sink in. Stay tuned for a wrap-up, where we’ll put together some interesting statistics from the Big Trip, and include a list of best places/experiences/food/etc.

After our excellent trek ended in Alice Springs, we didn’t have much time to make it to the 1,5000 kilometers up the Stuart Highway to Darwin. So, nursing our hangovers we said goodbye to a real bed and a private bathroom and fired up the Ambassador Van for the first time in almost a week and hit the road. more»

Luck had it that our arrival in Alice Springs for our (free!) one week trek around Uluru from Intrepid Travel coincided with the annual Camel Cup. Once we noticed this good fortune, it was an easy decision to make; we would become camel racing fans for the day. Or maybe a lifetime, depending on how the event struck us. more»
