Farewell to Australia: November 7

All good things have to come to an end.  So our sojourn to Australia had to come to an end.  Our last night in Alice Springs we went to the Sounds of Starlight Theatre, which bills itself as a "spell-binding musical and visual journey through ancient landforms, history and space of Australia's Outback."  A great show: we never thought we would appreciate didgeridoo music!

On the seventh, we bid farewell to Australia, and took off from Alice Springs for New Zealand via Sydney and across the Tasman Sea.  Having been disappointed that we didn't have a camera when we flew into Uluru,  Amy made sure she had both a camera and window seat for the outbound flight.  It was difficult to really capture what we saw out the window, but we tried.  There were so many pictures to chose from, we thought this collage might give you an idea -- bearing in mind that the real thing was 1,000 times better: without the sun glare and windows interfering with a fabulous sight!
