Road Trip Across Australia

Things that we have seen either on the side of the road or in the road during our road trip through the Outback:

wallabies

kangaroos

emus

dingos

wild pigs

wild horses

wild camels

cows, sheep, & goats

We came across a flock of about 20 cockatoos flying right in front of our car so close that we had to put on the brakes or we would have hit them.  At one of the national parks we camped at, we counted over 60 kangaroos either in the road or on the side of the road in just a 20 mile drive.

We’ve had some interesting animal encounters.  A confused stray or wild bull, (we didn’t really know) ran through our campsite which was out in the middle of nowhere.  And the same that same night, some kangaroos decided to mate in right front of our tent.

Our progress so far

This was an amazing beach on the Ningaloo Reef that also had great snorkeling

We thought this river was so cool because it was really really orange.

We got to watch what they call staircase to the moon, it's sort of like a sunrise but for the moon because when it comes up the reflection on the mud flats create that effect.  It's pretty cool.
