Lizard Man's Travels

This site is a journal of my travels and other adventures while I shift from doing postdoctoral research on tree frog ecology in Darwin, Australia, to research on digestive physiology of lizards and bats in Sede Boqer, Israel. Enough friends have been asking me for regular updates on this journey, that I thought this would be the best forum to keeep everyone up to date (including me).

Kimberley Trip, part 1


Gang at Halls Creek
Originally uploaded by wandering lizard
I've got a huge number of photos from my recent trip to the Kimberley (541), and because of the trip, I'm a bit far behind on everything else, so I'll post them in installments. Here's the first batch...

The trip started with Susan, Katja, Marianne and me driving west from Darwin. The first night saw us in Kununurra, in a caravan park called "Kimberleyland". Not a bad spot, as such things go, but not terribly exciting. We had decided to head west quickly, and then work slowly back toward Darwin.

This is the group on day two, in Halls Creek, a real outback community. Apparently, the police were advising tourists to spend as little time here as possible because of some unrest in town. Halls Creek is a big launching pad for trips into the outback - into the Kimberley, and also down south along the Tanami road toward Alice Springs and the central deserts. Going that direction, it's about 800km to the next services, along a rough, dirt road. We went the other way.
