From the top

On Wednesday I flew to Darwin. It was a great flight - direct and smooth! It was also clear, which allowed for great vision of the landscape. Whilst I love the coast, the interior of Australia is magnificent. The terrain is red, but so varied with so many different shades. And the flat red goes on forever until it merges with the horizon. The red is broken up by winding rivers the creep along. You can see that there has been lots of rain recently because the rivers are shadowed by tinged of green and bushes on either side. Roads extend in a straight line before turning a slight bed for whatever reason before continuing on. There are small communities clustered around a bend in the river. I also love the "lines of the land". It's so fascinating. I enjoyed the flight. Now I'm sitting in the Qantas lounge waiting for the flight to take me home. I suspect it won't be quite as interesting (seeing that most of the flight is in the dark).
