On our last afternoon and evening of camping in the Simpson Desert, we had the most spectacular thunder and lightning storm. Here one can see the storm approaching.
We saw this beautiful Dingo on the Birdsville track. The Dingo is Australia's wild dog. It was probably introduced to Australia by Asian seafarers about 4,000 years ago. Its origins have been traced back to a south Asian variety of the Grey Wolf
Mutonia Sculpture Park – about 60km west of Marree – emerges from the desert unexpectedly. All sorts of wacky weldings stand mute in the heat, including several planes welded together with their tails buried in the ground to form Planehenge. This unique attraction was created by Robin 'Mutoid' Cooke, a former mechanic that became an artist over 23 years ago.
