Australian Outback

So where is the Australian Outback?

 Some say it's red rock country,  others call it Ayers Rock  or more correctly Uhuru and others say if you stand on the east coast looking out to the ocean it's everything behind you......and that's the better discription, in reality it's any part of Australia that isn't a city. 
I've spent hours, days and weeks traveling around this vast land, and seen more of the country than most Aussies. From my colonial background I may sound like a Sydneysider to some, which is far from the truth but it doesn't stop me from loving this amazing city and all that the country has to offer from the old fashioned 6 o'clock swill  to the 'no problem mate' answers.

If the idea of  a green outback experience grabs you when you don't have time to travel further than a few hours from Sydney, do please try turning to the beauty of New South Wales and a bit of 'adult' luxury camping, known in some circles as glamping. 

These days camping is not all boy and girl scout style with a swag thrown over your back .
 

Head south from Sydney just a couple of hours and you'll be  ready to experience the wildlife of PaperBack Bark Camp.


   Not everywhere in the outback is hot, dry, brown and dusty with incessant fly attacks.

Kent Farm, Australia

Downunder, there's a freshness about life not often found in other parts of the world.  Life, downunder brings a fresh spirit, a happy soul, and rebounding energy that keeps pulling at the heart strings of love, (take a moment to listen to their prime minister).   So when my client, who became a friend,  started farming in New South Wales and sent these photos I knew I needed to share this serenity and know I have to go back and have a look see for myself.
