 Stuart Highway,  Our car couldn’t handle 
        the Outback’s harsh dirt roads, so the interminable Stuart Highway, 
        running dead straight from Adelaide to Darwin, was a familiar sight through 
        our dusty windshield during the few weeks we spent in Australia’s 
        interior. We loved to hate “Old Stuey” for the hours of tedious 
        driving it required, but in truth, we highly appreciated the stunning 
        landscapes and colorful characters it led us to. A modern intrusion into 
        an ancient land, the eerily deserted pavement provides a striking contrast 
        to the golden scrub, red earth  and blue skies of the Outback. LS |
