We are officially in the "Outback." Barbara says that we are in the red center of the Outback. The dirt here is fine and red, and it sticks to my shoes--glad I didn't buy new ones. I haven't seen any cactus plants, but there are no tall trees and lots of scrub brush. The ghost gum seems to be about the tallest, but it's not nearly big enough to give much shade. I discovered last night that we are in the area of the setting for the Meryel Streep movie "A Cry In The Dark.." A mother whose child was killed in a Dingo attack in the Australian outback fights to prove her innocence when she is accused of murder. Knowing that adds another dimension to this trip.
Last night we were taken by bus to a location "in the middle of nowhere." We were served lots of bubbly wine and canapes, some of which contained kangaroo and some contained crocodile. There were lots of choices on the buffet, but the best was lamb chops--a real treat for people who seldom have such a choice.
