There is some serious "lonely" going on there!

Very cool pics, Thanks!

Are the emu's much of a road hazard?

Heavy rain, it may sound like an oxymoron but when it rains the water hangs around for six weeks
if you get bogged, well you've had it, bikes are cool though...

Now that is one hell of a place to go riding. Did you ride to Oodnadatta or trailer the bike up there? What bike were you riding? Did your trip coincide with the Finke desert race?

Thanks for posting, the images certainly bear witness to the wide brown land handle.

Thanks for the pictures Arbee.. =D>

I've heard that it's so flat that if you could see far enough ahead you could see the back of your own head.. :D
