Today was a travel day from Perth to Adelaide to Alice Springs. We arrived in Alice Springs at sunset and only had time to get to our hotel and eat dinner, but we’re setting out first thing in the morning on a six-hour bus ride to see what the middle of Australia is like. Our eventual destination is Uluru (more commonly known as Ayers Rock until 1993). While we could have flown there directly, with most of our trip focused on Australia’s coast I wanted to spend a bit of extra time seeing what the red center is like, and Audrey surprisingly agreed to join me on a horrendously long and dusty bus ride that I’m hugely excited about.
In the mean time, spending the day on planes and in airports allowed me to finally finish editing down a massive amount of underwater GoPro video into something that is borderline watchable, so below is a four minute collection of highlights from our diving with Hama and Lynny in Christmas Island – click the “Watch on YouTube” link for the best quality version.
Love the Ryan Latin names for the creatures!
