Swirling across the landscape, slithering across the road, gathering in trees to create a faint haze across the horizon

Lake Hart – Australia’s inland salt lake
Now, you can still see the skeletons of old industry at the site, slowly being buried in a salty crust. The sunrise and sunsets are magnificent, at night the trains rumble past and occasional lights from Woomera can be seen.
Lady Aurora
Energy was cracking across the sky like a whip, it felt like a great thunderous storm should have been rattling the windows but the silence was deafening, a silent storm.
Melbourne to Papunya Day 2
We arrived about an hour before sunset, setting up camp in time to enjoy a glass of wine before sunset
The beautiful face of Phuket
Lying flat on the kayak and pulling ourselves along with our hands, we can slid through the cave system to emerge into the bright lagoon
So how was it?
Spending time with people who have an adventurous spirit, who pursue experiences and are interested in peoples stories, the world around them and the way that they interact with it. People with amazing resilience, courage and the capacity to step up to a challenge.
Roadtripping
It was two very stiff and sore people who emerged from the tent at 5.30 the next morning. The sleeping mats did not inflate and we spent the night doing pressure area care every hour instead of sleeping.
Change of plans
Then after the most boring five days of my life, the Universe smiled on me. I was given the option of flying home instead of taking the ship…. It was a big decision and I carefully considered my options. The benefits home two weeks earlier then planned…. flying not rocking my way through the roughest latitudes in the world… internet access. It took about 2 secs, to recover the power of speech and agree to take one for the team. OK, I’ll fly home since some-one needs to do it. Happy dance, happy dance, happy dance.
Travelling home – part 1
It seemed like hours before finally the blob appeared, with my slightly dodgy eyesight, I had to wait longer then everyone else but it was there. A couple of low flyovers later and a bright shiny red little Basler landed smoothly on the sea ice, gliding to a stop right in front of us. A human emerged from the steps and I think I might have looked like a timid monkey hiding behind the guys peering out. It was the first human we had seen for ten months!!
