Our outback impressions: sunset at Karumba, one-lane streets and old kombi van
The streets and the landscape got more and more wild. The trees, ground, stones, animals etc. are very different all the way. Unfortunately we have already seen many dead kangaroos and other animals beside or even on the roads. In Cairns we got some kangaroo whistles to put on our kombi. With the wind going through they make a noise that only the kangaroos hear and that should warn them that a car is coming. Some people already told us that they really have an effect:-).
After some kms through the outback we reached the beach at Karumba – just to realise that it is impossible to swim in the ocean and also in the surrounding lakes because of crocodiles everywhere. Anyway we had a nice evening in the Sunset Tavern to watch the sunset there and have some nice seafood.
