AUSTRALIA 1996

Here are some of my photos from my holiday in Austalia in May 1996. I took over 350 photos. Luckily for you I have only reproduced highlights of them here!

Ayers Rock (Uluru)

We viewed the rock at sunset, sunrise, walked up it, walked round it and flew over it. I think that's about all you can do with a rock!

Me in front of Ayers Rock (Uluru) at the sun set viewing area.

Wayward Bus Trip

I went on a Wayward Bus Trip from Adelaide to Alice Springs (15.5.96 - 22.5.96) which was great fun.

Maree Station on the Old Ghan Railway. The railway was abandoned in 1980 for a new route further west. Maree is pretty much a ghost town now. This is my favourite picture of all 357!
