“Pelican Pete”, Kangaroo Island
"Pelican Pete" I called him. I never found out his real name or even if he has a nickname but I know that he has been feeding pelicans on Kangaroo Island for some time - "every day of the year", he said to the tune of $40,000 AUD for food for the birds. With "pelican feeder" as a job description, one needs an appropriate nickname! We pulled in to the Pelican dock around 445pm (the pelican feeding always starts at 5pm) near the small town of … [Read more...]

We spent the night camping near the Glen Helen Gorge on the banks of the barely flowing Finke River. This River is among the oldest rivers in the world - dated at a whopping 65 million years - give or take a few million! We awoke to rain falling on our tents at 4am and not letting up for several hours. After several … [Read more...]
Uluru at Sunrise

But when you are standing in front of this orange monolith sleep is the furthest thing from your mind. The sun slowly rises and caps Uluru in a gentle light bathing it softly then becoming … [Read more...]

Notes from the Great Australian Outback, Northern Territory
Garth Brooks, "Friends in Low Places" was playing at some point in the last few days in one of our tour vehicles. The trend in music among the outfitters seems to be older American Country. I'm perfectly fine with that. I didn't hear about the incredible amount of flies in the Outback this particular year prior to my trip - probably something to do with all the rain they've had here. There is a cream you can dab on your face which keeps them … [Read more...]
Camels to Sounds of Silence, Uluru Australia
Riding Camels in Australia? I thought present day camels were native to parts of the Middle East and parts of the Horn of Africa? In fact they are, but were brought to this part of the country in 1840 from the Canary Islands. Nine camels were originally brought over - all but one died en route and that one was eventually killed - but then more arrived. More than fifteen hundred camels were released into the wild many generations ago - and … [Read more...]
