    Central Australia Jan 2017

    There has been an extraordinary amount of rain over the summer months in this part of the world. Many locals and tourists are taking advantage of the conditions and getting out to flowing water and waterholes full to the brim.

    Now that we have the new truck, we have done the same:

    Redbank Waterhole, Owen Springs:

    Birthday Waterhole.

    This is a nice 15km track, easy to moderate (few sandy river patches) with some fabulous scenery along the way. It is a great base to do some exploring and hiking in the West Macs. The waterhole was lovely swimming:

    I would be happy to advise anyone about Central Australia when they are passing through. I work in the centre of town and can catch up for a cup of coffee any time and look at some maps.

    I was a tour guide in the area for many years so have a good understanding of how to get the best out of a trip.
