"Ken oath fair dinkum Ozzy outback or bush and she's a bloody ripper mate." (Australian for nice view of this mountain range.)
Some of these Australian outback stations or farms can be 3,000 to 17,000 square Km each. A painted finish for Sunday's slide

This wonderful peaceful scene was taken somewhere between Alice Springs and Glen Helen Gorge in the western MacDonnell ranges. We briefly pulled over to soak in the beauty of the place, and I ended up heading off the road on foot and climbing up this little rise. It was amazingly quiet, and at one point I heard a thumping noise. After briefly wondering if I was just hearing my own heartbeat, I looked over the other side of the highway to see a lone kangaroo hopping quietly along. I was amazed to be able to hear that so far away. It was one of those magic moments in a desolate but beautiful location.
Map location data is very approximate.

Il gruppo di Terni nasce nel 2006 ed è formato inizialmente da Gabriele Raggi (basso), Gianluca Pantaleo (chitarra, voce, piano ), Francesco Nesta (chitarra, piano). Il nome Outback si riferisce, genericamente, alle aree interne più remote, semi-desertiche dell’Australia. Inizialmente il gruppo si forma come cover band dei Muse, alternando diversi batteristi e dopo un breve periodo, iniziano a comporre brani originali. Gli Outback sono un gruppo di matrice indie-rock con venature pop, le loro liriche si alternano tra italiano e inglese. Dopo vari cambi di line up, nel 2007 entra in formazione stabile Eugenio Della Mora (batteria), già attivo in altre band del panorama indipendente locale. Gli Outback sin da subito propongono un’intensa attività live esibendosi in varie parti della Penisola, principalmente nelle città di Roma e Milano. Dopo aver inciso un demo autoprodotto, iniziano nel 2008 una stretta collaborazione con il produttore milanese Massimo Luca (Gianluca Grignani), il quale rimane colpito da una loro esibizione al Music Village in Calabria. Con Top Record registrano il loro primo promo. Sfortunatamente, quello che sarebbe poi dovuto diventare il loro primo disco, non vedrà mai la luce a causa di alcuni problemi in fase di produzione e distribuzione. Nel 2009 gli Outback vengono selezionati tra i primi 16 per SanRemo, Categoria Giovani, con un brano contenuto nel loro primo EP autoprodotto, “Lame e vetro”. Nel corso di questi anni hanno condiviso il palco con alcune delle migliori realtà emergenti italiane. A giugno del 2011 è prevista l’uscita del loro primo album ufficiale e l'esibizione sul palco del Rock in Idrho di Milano in apertura a gruppi internazionali quali Foo Fighters, Iggy pop & the Stooges, Social Distortion, Band of Horses, The Hives, Flogging Molly e i Ministri...
The Breakaways (approximately 33 kilometres north of Coober Pedy) are one of South Australia's Outback gems. They're a striking rocky landscape of flat-topped mesas. The Breakaways were once covered by an inland sea. They are now home to an array of native fauna and flora.

I couldn't pick which of the images from this spot I preferred (I shot 6 slight variations), so uploaded three of them. Still not sure I have included my favourite though.
Metal Sculpture Artwork as part of the Winter Metal Art Sculptures in Roma, Queensland. ORIGIN/APLNG Open Prize winner.
As per a previous photo, the Outback area is prone to sudden floods from tropical downpours. The rain falling on Roma though, still flows to the sea. Further inland the channel country and Diamantina flows down to the Great Artesian Basin and down to Kati Thanda- Lake Eyre.

Found this beautiful serene place whilst on a roadtrip through outback Australia. Absolutely stunning
The road from Mungo to Mildura takes you through a (small) portion of outback NSW. This tends to be sheep country and rain can be rare. A week before I took these shots the rain had come and closed the roads. The ground turned dust to relatively moist soil, though dust still plumed from the car. Along the way were a number of refreshed ponds, presenting near mirror reflections.
This is the border fence between New South Wales on the left and Queensland on the right. The fence also protects NSW sheep from roaming dingoes in Queensland.

This is east of Alice Springs on private property at the tail end of the East Macdonnell Ranges. Not a bad backyard! The owners have around 4000 square km's of land and 25,000 head of cattle. We stayed in one of their farmhouses for a couple of nights surrounded by these mountains.
