Nearly there–Stuart Highway to Alice

So, I am still at work.  Its 40 degrees outside, about 22 in here.  I am listening to ‘Flame Trees’ by Sarah Blasko and sitting on a couch.  That’s not bad for a job really. 

I still have a few more pics of the long drive down to Alice.  We stopped in afew spots and came across lots of Zebra Finches.  These little guys are really common aviary/cage birds but you don’t see them very commonly in the wild. 

Next and last drive to Alice post is the Devils Marbles – absolutely magnificent.

Another great vista, car, blue sky and green grass.

A pair of Zebra finches.  Male is on the left with his bright orange cheek patch and below you can see his zebra stripes on his chest.

Nice big spider, this one was about the size of your hand.  I think its a golden orb weaver.  The big ones the girl.  This picture is for all you British girls coming over this year, lookin forward to it.
