POSTIE NOTES PART 5 – A BIT OUT OF SEQUENCE BUT NO LESS FUN WORDS/PHOTOS JACQUI KENNEDY

The Red Centre has so much more to offer than just a visit to the Big Rock. There are stunning gorges, magnificent chasms and canyons, wonderful red dirt tracks reeking with colonial history and more desert than you can poke a stick at. There is nothing quite like watching an outback sunset, camping under the stars with a crackling fire beside a majestic natural monument like Chambers Pillar. Unfortunately, I got to do none of those things on this trip through the Centre. My overweight little companion doesn’t like getting his tyres sandy and my lack of off-road ability would likely end up with an RFDS trip to the closest hospital.
