Endless Road - Lost car.....

Not very crowdy !!!!!!!!!!!!

not at all but the road keeps on going.

The mirages are quite something! I first saw something like this in the Patagonian steppe. The cyclist must be mad indeed....

This was not a hot day by any means the mirage would be even more in summer heat. this part of Australia is not one I would like to even think of on a bike let alone to contemplate this in summer on a bike. the distances between road houses is quite a bit well over 250km between each.

Dangerous road for Cyclists ~ dead boring road for drivers

Nick the shot I wanted I was not able to get the longest straight road 90 miles dead straight and nearly dead flat as well as we went through at night. there is just so many road sections dead straight as you can see by all the PIP's on all the photos.

not a place I would like to be on a cycle too much could go wrong out there very fast . we saw 6 of them on the road on there own not some thing I would take up.....

Air strip !! ..... blimey !....but a good idea.. when you think about it..
I'd open a hot dog stall at the side.

You have to ask yourself just where else that they could land in safety and there is enough parts that are straight enough an flat. as the planes are small I would think just on the normal road surface not strengthened underneath. this was the first we came across but not the last thats for sure.

hot dog stand you would get the attention of all the flies and plenty of sun but no customers.

Incredible !... I can't visualise a road of 90 miles dead straight... but of course Australia is one big country. It must be quite an experience driving some of those roads over there.

this is well worth your look at so you see that its got all the facts I have already told you plus more.

Hi Steve, Just read the link you provided, the dates for the sealing of the hi-way was extremely interesting as I traveled over it in 1969. I can only remember dirt and I was towing a caravan .An adventure back then, but it was a long trip and dust was into everything. The oncoming vehicles were a problem.Had to pull over each time or risk windscreen damage. Good to follow your trip,pity you did did not have time to stop when you wanted. Regards Peter

It is such a long way one i was not quite prepared for in reality but it was never Dull or boring. I have always wanted to do the trip by M/C but never got the chance. It would not have been fun on gravel thats for sure I can bet its the very same set of roads but sealed. I hope one day to get the chance by car so I can stop when I want to and see it just a bit more close up.I put the photos up as it is a trip Europe just will not be able to comprehend at all in Distance.

hope it brought a few good memories back.

Typical WA......most non Australians are in disbelief at the scale of outback Oz.

That Is so true even myself while i have flown this many times this was something I really enjoyed. I looked at the trip with the photographers eye and saw so much. I thought that just a few photos with PIPs was the best way to go dont make it too long for those not really interested.

Btw.... I'd offer hot dogs'...... 'buy one get one free'... that'd bring em' in !

Better to offer fresh Kangaroo burgers plenty fresh meat every night.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for sharing another great set of pics from your journey. It must have been a great adventure! Something we Europeans can't comprehend...
As for the cyclist.. Well, we hear stories of people stranded in the outback with no water.. I would imagine a consumption of a couple of gallons a day, from WHERE?

Best Wishes
Peter
