January 2008 Ro had a trip from Sydney to Perth with Katrina. Here are the photos taken by Katrina.
This is at Kimba, a town in South Australia which claims to be the half way mark between the East and West coasts of Australia.
This photo was taken just moments before crossing the border to Western Australia. Border Village SA/WA.
This is an example of a basic outback township. Taken from my hotel room door so the lighting isn't the best. Norseman is a goldmining town in outback Western Australia about 700km from Perth.
As we crossed the border to South Australia we had to pass through a quarrantine checkpoint to make sure we weren't carrying any fruit, vegetable or plant material. This is to protect crops from fruit fly which hasn't made it to South Australia yet.
This twisted piece of metal is a piece of the Skylab space station which crashed to earth in Balladonia Western Australia on 12 July 1979. If you look really close you can see the word Skylab on the side.
Our first stop was at the Dog on the Tuckerbox in Gundagai, NSW.
There was a lot of glare and haze on the horizon the day we stopped at the southern edge of Australia. This is the Great Australian Bight in South Australia.
