Cyclone Yasi in the Centre...

We just caught the tail of Cyclone Yasi at Yulara last week..

The winds were up to 110 km p/hour. Not much rain but a LOT of humidity - and it is still damn hot. The local talk is that 2011 may bring a long cold winter --- but when ??

No sign of it yet. Here is what the Centre looked like this week.

Red Centre Touring...Christmas approaching

The landscape is looking stunning at the moment -- see for yourself, here are some images from the last tours.

Leaving Alice...the final "leg", the last 2000
