AUSSIE ROAD TRIP

AUSTRALIA OUTBACK

Some of my pictures crossing the Red Centre, Northern Territory by car in September of 2017 with a friend.

Nearly three thousand kilometers in five days and temperatures reaching more than 35°C during the day.

Trust me, you don't need the best car in the world for that, just make sure everything is working properly and go ahead!

Somewhere in the Outback

One of the few servo stations you can find on the way. Sometimes can take more than three hundred kilometers driving to find the next one and prices are way more expensive than in the city.

Sun sets in this flat land are simply amazing.

During the sun set the temperature drops a little bit, it's a good time to relax and enjoy the view.

On the way to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park.
Note: You will need to get your park pass for $25 per adult.

I would like to climb Uluru and enjoy the beautiful view but to me it's more important respect the culture first. Aboriginals have this place as sacred and they ask people to not climb.

"The local Anangu request that visitors not climb the rock, partly due to the path crossing an important dreaming track, and also a sense of responsibility for the safety of visitors to their land. Climbing Uluru is a popular attraction for visitors. A chain handhold added in 1964 and extended in 1976 makes the hour long climb easier, but it is still a long and steep hike to the top. Over the years there have been deaths due to heart failure, as well as non-fatal heart attacks."

You must watch the sun rise or sun set in one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. It's breathtaking!

In one day I drove for more than five-teen hours, it was more than a thousand kilometers and practically the same view around.

Long distances between each stop, high temperatures since early in the morning and straight lines makes you feel with fatigue mostly of the time. Must be careful with that.

It's so important to hydrate your body, get sunscreen on and make sure your car is in good conditions.
