Believed to have formed over 2700 million years ago, Wave Rock is part of the northern face of Hyden Rock. The shape of the wave is formed by gradual erosion of the softer rock beneath the upper edge, over many centuries. The colours of the Wave are caused by the rain washing chemical deposits (carbonates and iron hydroxide) down the face, forming vertical stripes of greys reds and yellows.

Portfolio | Travel Blog | Tumblr | Youtube |Contact Me Below is an excerpt from my travel blog. Cheers. After spending a few days in Melbourne, I took a cheap flight up to Alice Springs and back into the Australian Outback. This part of the Outback is a bit different from the area around Darwin. To my surprise, Alice Springs experiences extreme changes in temperature from night to day and seasonally. However, this makes sense. Located in the middle of Australia (see map below), the area is far enough from the ocean or any large body of water to keep the temperature from changing dramatically. The nights in Alice Springs while I was there actually approached freezing and warm up to summer temps during the day. I forget how much less the temperature varies when you are located next to the ocean. Boston, for instance, is located around the same latitude as Minneapolis in the midwest. In Minnesota, the Vikings football team needs a dome to play in during the winter. It's much colder there than in Boston, where their team, the Patriots, play outside at the Gillette Stadium (note that the Packer's football team, in neighboring Wisconsin is a bit more tough and still manages to play outside in the frigid cold; sorry Vikings fans, obviously I'm a Packer fan). To reach Uluru, most people fly into Alice Springs and rent a car. The drive takes 4-5 hours and you go through some desolate Outback. I don't often say I shot nothing, but that's the case in this photo. It only took me 4 hours of driving but I soon realized that as I looked off into the the distance, everything was flat. Not even an undulation in the landscape could be seen. No hills, trees, or buildings anywhere. Only shrubs dotted the sea of sand. It was almost as if I was in the twilight zone. This photo really captures that feeling. I'm traveling the world, if you're interested in following me I have an HDR blog at www.LostManProject.com. I'll be posting a daily HDR photo from my experiences. Cheers from the land down under.

The Canning Stock Route, through Great Sandy Desert in WA, saw the first contact between white settlers and local Aboriginal people.
He scans the vast blue horizon. Endless flat plains shimmer in the heat, squat saltbush scrub offering no shade from the blazing sun. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Arthur Richardson picks up a faint track in the shifting sands. He knows these tracks can disappear without trace. Worse, a cyclist can be confronted by tracks going in different directions. Take the wrong one and he might end up who knows where. And if he runs out of food and water, it might be weeks or even months before anyone finds his body, mummified by the hot desert wind and sand — if they ever do. But Richardson is not one to entertain negative thoughts. An unlikely looking adventurer, he is thin and mild in manner. Just 24 years old, he seems to belong behind a desk in a city office rather than on a bicycle, inching across the harsh Australian terrain. But he is tough, resourceful and apparently fearless.
