reAustralia :the pioneer's road

© Hervé HUGHES / hemis.fr

Australia's mythical Stuart Highway stretches from North to South,covering over 3 000 km and revealing the country's Outback region.A mean to encounter the Aborigine culture while following thepioneers’ footsteps, this road also enables one to discove theastonishing Kakadu forest, the Katherine gorges, the well-knownAyers’ Rock, the opal mines of Coober Pedy and the odd aspect ofFlinders Rangers. Taking the Pioneers ‘road is with no doubt takinga step in adventure.
