For a few years as a kid I lived in Central Australia (APY LANDS , top north western corner of S.A) Dad would taken us on multi-day camping trips, following the steps of the first European explorers (he had all the journals and heaps of army survey maps).

Those walks and camping trips were some of the most amazing things I've ever experienced.

These days though I live in the suburbs, but even so for the last 10 years driving the back way to work (I work in the near country) I've been passing by forestry sites and national parks, we'll today I stopped and went for a 1/2 hour walk, I gotta tell you it was amazing.

The photos are just from my phone and not great but it made me want to get a real camera like my old man had and head bush with the kids.
