Passing the border to the Northern Territory

The border to the Northern Territory was unspectacular, Dirk even drove by without realising the first time. Silke had to tell Dirk about the boarder and we drove back to the welcome sign. The time zone changed 30 minutes (how funny is that they are doing 30 and even 15 minutes of time changes here!) and the landscapes looked even more basic (less trees and other green plants). We found a rest area just about 60 kms after the boarder, there were heaps of really annoying flies around. They loved to fly to your mouth, nose, ears and eyes – how annoying! At our first night we met some travellers from Mount Isa again, and we spend the evening with them, …drinking wine together, chatting etc. Sebastian was one German guy and Yanni an English one…. Silke even knows the same people from Kempten like Sebastian. Again a small world ;-)!
