We're a bit weary after a late night of conviviality, so we bypass breakfast and move straight on to a very pleasant lunch.

Awesome Lake Tyrell
I heard of Lake Tyrell in a Backroads feature on ABC TV but never like this. A sunset over a flooded salt lake...redefines awesome. We spent hours photographing the sunset on the flooded salt Salar in Bolivia when following the Dakar Rally.
