So Far...

[den]

So here I am in Darwin.

A big report will be coming, but the highlights:

A green desert
Seeing the sea on the south coast (Spencer Gulf, Port Augusta) then seeing the sea on the north coast 2 days later (Arafura Sea, Darwin)
The Woomera Rocket Park
Roads with unrestricted speed limits
Discovering the Devil's Marbles have a proper name: Karlwekarlwe
seeing wild camels
Crossing the Tropic Of Capricorn
seeing 3 metre high termite mounds
Seeing a 53 metre long road train

Lowlights:
Running over and killing a falcon.
92% humidity
Petrol $1.25/litre at TiTree
Passing the Uluru turn-off and not having time to see Uluru.

Wild camels? Wow, I didn't know you have that there.

They were brought over ~150 years ago as transportation, and have gone feral in the desert.
