Well, the title says it all....and what magic memories they were/are!!

The White Desert was definitely a major highlight .... After driing for hours across the Western desert, we came to this magical landsape.... Off road we went....winding through the meringue tops, till we found a nice flat(ish) area to camp.... laid out our sleeping bags in a circle, set up the campfire kitchen,and settled in for the night.

Walked to the top of the ridges to explore and watch the sunset and sunrise..you could just look out forever over this pristine landscape. Amazingly, there was a shrub or two surviving well, and a shy desert fox visited us for a short time late that night

The truck...a black blot, surrounded by the pristine pipings of a master chef....the wind, weather (and the whole whoever) created something pretty special out here!
