On (and off) Big Red

"Big Red" is the name of the largest sand dune in the Simpson Desert - and fortunately not far from Birdsville. This is the view from the top, looking across claypans to the next dune in the west. In the PiPs are images of vehicles descending from Big Red to the claypan. It's steep! The foreground plants in the second PiP are Saltbush.

I find it confirmed by your pictures what I learned during our trip through your country: Australia is the land of great contrasts...

Wonderful photo, George. They remind me a bit of the country we visited this spring in Utah, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, also a great place for ORV's but not as remote as this.

Impresionante paisaje, difícil imaginarse ahí aunque, con el calor que estamos pasando, algo nos acercamos.
