I spent 3-4 days exploring Melbourne before making my journey to the center of the country. After about 2 days I found myself feeling very antsy and stressed out. I'm definitely not made for the big city.
I arrived in Alice Springs (Map) without a plan. I had no idea where I was sleeping and no idea how I was getting around. Oddly, it comforted me. I relaxed and wondered around for a day, and finally decided to go on an outback adventure with some friends from the hostel. Andddd it's picture time.
A few pictures from Melbourne:
Free Jazz concert.
Melbourne Harbor.
Building in a building (Shopping center).

The outback:
Mounds in Kings canyon.
It was really unique seeing the color contrast. Blue sky. Red Rock. Green leaves. White Bark.

Dried up lake.
Sand.
