Teegs and I spent 2 weeks over the new year travelling around Central Australia.
We had a wonderful time, despite the heat. Most days involved getting up at dawn, going for a great walk. Then afternoons were spent lounging by rockholes reading a book, when we got too hot lounging, we would dive into the rockhole and then repeat all afternoon. Lovely!
Map of our journey:
We first went to the East Macs and Trephina Gorge. Then we drove down to Uluru and Katajuta, up to Kings Canyon, then tackled the Mereenie Loop to the West Macs.
Us and our trusty vehicle:
