Alice Springs to Woomera, 12-4-07
back to Driving Across Australia-
Most "pickups" are SUVs instead. But there are a lot of the cowcatchers and snorkels. A lot of the creek crossings have sticks with water depth marked on them so you can see how deep the water is before you cross. But there was no water in any of them now. It must be for the rainy season.

There is no electrical service along most of the north-south highway, so the fiber optic repeaters (for voice and internet) use solar panels.
