日本語 Driving the Oodnadatta Track, South Australia
The Outback is Australia’s soul, full of amazing landscapes and extraordinary characters.
Harsh but fragile, it’s an environment like no other. Fascinating geological landmarks rise from the red sand – the spiritual centre of Uluru, the strange ‘Devil’s Marbles’, Wave Rock, the Olgas, the Bungle Bungles, Karlu Karlu – and if you think the names are strange, wait till you see the rocks!
As you travel through the Outback you can rest at remote swimming holes, where graceful white gum trees provide shade, and rock ledges protect Aboriginal rock-art galleries dating back millennia. In many ways the Outback defines Australia as a land of contrasts – our modern cities and beautiful beaches give way to thousands of miles of ‘big country’ steeped in Aboriginal mythology. It’s the great Australian adventure destination!
