Still on the road.

After a rainy day we decided to take a look at local sights. And this seahorse farm was one of them. They were breeding seahorses there. These funny small fishlike things that live in water and look like horses.

Don’t have a clue where this picture was taken or why or why we would have stopped there and why did I take out the camera. The wind and light games that sun is playing here with clouds is ..nice. I reckon.

A must have tourist photo in this place (above).

In another national park (Kalbarri was it?). Decided to take a closer look into the valley. It was a good choice cause we spent an hour just sitting there. Listening silence and occasional birds passing by and just enjoying the place without any other persons but us in sight.

Following night spared us a bit of rain I guess

Cause, in the morning it was like this again.

Then. The beach of seashells. No sand. Just seashells.

Everything that looks like a sand here is actually not. Seashells.

Somewhere on the road we must have entered the tropical latitudes. Heat was taking over.

So were straight roads and fellow backpackers

And just a spot with a good view where we spent the night camping between sand dunes.

Picture above is significant because it marks another jetty that I was unable to finish to the end.

Termites. And their big nests. Some of them over 2 meters. The story behind it is quite complicated actually. Apparently these small insects have unbelievably strict hierachy and system how everything works. As always, most of the termites over there are workers. These guys have no eyes and just do the dirty work. Heaps of them. And then there are handful of them who have gone to the gym a lot and are double the size. They are the guardians of the masters - a king and a queen. Royal family rules the place, live in their huge rooms with best views overlooking everything you can see from the top of the nest. They haven’t got a care in the world except reproducing. The good life.

More camping under the stars. Acutally I must say this here now that how amazing it was here how much you can really see the sky here at night. One can clearly distinguish the milky way from bundled strip of stars going from east to west. And as the night goes on, how everything turns and somewhere at midnight the picture is completely different. And how bright everything is. And how many of these falling stars there are all the time. You could wish all the things in the world after spending few weeks in the outback and looking for falling stars. Something completely different to the picture we see in these warm Estonian summers.

Beware of emu crossings in the middle of highway.

The gang. Happy with what they see.

Our first encounter with these orange creatures jumping on two legs. Came out of nowhere, took an unfriendly greeting from our bumper and vanished. Luckily the car was fine. Not sure about the roo though..

Life is ironic here in outback.

More to come..
