all of which are very beautiful and interesting. I found the 'red centre' of this country very beautiful. The only other scenery in know that is as beautiful is the Scottish Highlands - which is very different, but also similar in some ways.
We also took The Ghan (train) from Darwin to Alice Springs and visited the Margaret River area of Western Australia.
Probably the only thing we missed out on was that it was cloudy and showery for the whole time we were at Uluru, so we saw neither a sunset nor a sunrise. However, we did see water trickling down the rock, and we did see all sorts of desert plants, that only come to life and flower after rain, do exactly that. (Having seen them in their dried up state in Alice Springs).
