The birds are a bit more friendly though (1).
The outback starts to dominate the central part of the country producing spectacular sunsets (2). For a short while the highway skirts the southern ocean along impressive cliffs that run for a hundred or so miles along the coast (3). The softer sandstone underneath harder rocks doesn’t allow beaches to form as chuncks of cliff crumble into the ocean. Along these long desolate roads many people just camp in various picnic areas along the way and the stars are bright. Unfortunately there’s a fair amount of roadkill and most trucks and SUVs have “roo catchers.”
This is also the land of the infamous “road trains” (4) which are allowed to be up to 150 feet long and whose air drag can lurch your ludicrously tall campervan half a lane over. On the way to Coober Pedy in the true middle of nowhere are some large dry lakes (5). A lot of this land is used by AUS and USA military for rocket tests.
