Well, you asked for it (them). Today is Day 7 and we arrived in Karumba after lunch today, and checked in the caravan park. We are here for 4 nights. I am using my phone as a hotspot while I post these bits of text and photos. We have seen some beautiful things, and stayed in some amazing places. We have also seen some very ordinary things (dryness, animal death, deserted lands), and stayed in equally ordinary places.
Here are some of the photos you missed from the first 6+ days...
