Lisa has just emailed her latest photos of the "blooming outback". These photos were taken yesterday, just out of Alice Springs in the Simpson Desert/Macdonnell Ranges - unbelievable colour everywhere. The background of "red" outcrops and ranges, aren't sooh red right now with so much green growth over them.
Above - Yellow, backdropped with white shrubs - and purples below
and masses of the "poached egg" wildflower below

Lois - this one's for you.
Susan took this of the ole Marree Pub on her trip to Lake Eyre - she certainly wasn't surrounded by water when we were there 25 years ago. (Note the cabins on the right - Susan and co. slept in these, she said they seemed preferable to the Hotel rooms - you and I can probably vouch for that from personal experience.)
