Corner Country NSW. Why did we go?

Corner Country NSW

Why?


You know, I've traveled to a lot of outback Australia, and hope to see more.
I get asked quite frequently, why? 
I don't really know. I say things like, 'big skies' and 'red dirt', but I know I'm not really convincing my inquisitive friend. 
I end up saying, 'you just have to go and see for yourself'. I know they probably won't, so it's a bit of a redundant answer. 





We traveled to Cameron Corner. The meeting point of New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia. 
Seven days, around 3000 kms, of which almost 2000 kms were on gravel roads. To say they were 'roads' is being very generous. Mostly they were tracks covered in nasty rocks and big holes full of bulldust, the red talcum powder that gets into every part of you vehicle. 

But I digress.

Why did we go? 
 I think because we maybe didn't think we could make it. I know this sounds a bit lame, but even though we had modern, well equipped 4wds, on relatively well traveled tracks, sometimes we saw no other vehicles for hundreds of kilometres.  I think it's that feeling that this could go bad, quickly, sharpens your senses and your sense of adventure. 

I think it also cleanses your mind of modern clutter. Thousands of kilometres of red dirt, where all you have to do is miss the next big, ugly rock on the track, focuses the mind. 
Mindfulness. 
I think that is why we travel out to remote places. Mindfulness. 

It's not so much the destination, but the journey.
