@RJ Fry – thanx so much! Maybe it proves yet again that the best shots are unrehearsed and unplanned!

That really is a fantastic outback snapshot!

It's what comes to mind when I think of the great outdoors, dusty orange landscape and road-trains.

@Rachel – stop, I’m blushing!! But it’s actually my favourite outback shot as it epitomises the essence of the outback! Come back any time!!

That is an amazing shot! I love the redness of the outback — and the contrast with the row of those semis!

@Facing50 – Yeah, I guess the sun isn’t as much fun without the space/adventure! Thanx for dropping by!
@Kathy – well, that’s a great reason to come visit!! What an excellent tourist attraction!
@Manzanita – I SO admire the dedication to commit to the A-Z thing! I don’t find them boring – especially when they teach me about stuff I don’t know!! Thanx for dropping in!

Thought you were still on hiatus. Thanks for stopping today. Thank you for peeking in from time to time. I appreciate it and I know dancing isn’t your interest but just stop and say “Hi” once in a while….. this A-Z thing will be over in 10 days. Of course I could talk dancing forever but I know it’s boring if it’s not your cup of tea.

I love these truck stops. I need them. Falling asleep has never presented a problem for me….. When the warm sun is shining on my steering wheel, I want to sleep. I try everything to keep awake but I just have to stop and walk around. Sounds like “hunger and fatigue” got to you too.
Until later….

The bus on my site is one that takes the cruise shop passengers around the city to see the sights. This stop is a hill high above the downtown and the harbour. I think the bus is pretty cool, too.
Thanks for visiting my site. :)

Now, I may have the sun at the moment but you have the space and adventure! See, I’m still dropping by. I apparently still require my OZ fix. Congrats on the guest post too below. Just been reading that. Bril!

@Sailor – whoops, sorry, knew I’d left someone out! Our refreshments were what we’d brought with us – no shops out there!!

@no-one – You could be on to something there, my friend! BUT … toilets/seats/shade are a common feature of many interstate rest stops! Just sayin’ …
@Mrs Tuna – maybe you’re meant to bring your own loo!! HHHMMMmmm… never thought of that!
@Stuart – HHHMMMmmm… never thought of that either!! Although the presence of the truckie might have put me off my game …
@Windsmoke – there IS a bin! Look carefully between the car and the truck!!
@Ann O’Dyne – I get your rage, my friend. But hate to point out this is a fuel tanker …
And the Canning Stock Route will have to wait for a rig upgrade – ours is sadly inadequate for those conditions!
@Alessandra AND River – sorry, both wrong! Both us and the road train are parked IN the rest area!! Yes, that’s it!! Bin is between vehicles – and composting toilets are now a feature of almost EVERY other interstate rest stop I’ve ever visited! Go figure …
