At the Museum of Central Australia the expedition made a review of the extensive natural and geologic collections.
Outside we were met by a flock of interesting green birds. One would not expect such creatures in the hostile environment of central Australia.
The expedition stopped at the remote Barkley Homestead to take on provisions of fuel and ice cream. A traveler in line in front of us for petrol had a whimsical sign attached to the back of his camper.
The only fuel for several hundred kilometers in either direction.
The expedition lead vehicle after re-provisioning.
A bucket for a dump truck on the way to some far-flung mining outpost in the bush.
The long straight road across the Barkley Tableland. The expedition force-marched across this vast expanse of nothing.
The expedition proceeded into the Northern Territory and across the great flat. No matter where you look, the earth is flat. The curvature can be seen in every direction. Our land ships were adrift in a featureless sea of nothing.
