Here we are!
At the park, a honeyeater.
O you little Thorny devil, you!
Simpson's Gap ( we feel a little weird taking a picture of Simpson's gap... but we ARE on vacay and he put up a big sign ushering us to it!)
Ellie's river.
It is unusual to see water this time of year in the red center- but here it is!
An view from the top- see the water below!
Awwww....
From the top!
Around the corner.
This is Ocher- and one of 5 places on earth where it is found- all in OZ. Mixed with water it makes an excellent body and art paint- The Aboriginals have used it that way for thousands of years as a matter of fact! Look in the next picture for the reds, whites and browns as well. This is why, traditionally, Aboriginal art is all in these 4 colors- earthtones for sure!
This entire pit is full of all earth colors- ready to mix with water or animal fat and create a work of art!
We hiked up 300 stairs to get this one! WOW!
