Entry from: Uluru, Australia Entry Title: “Uluru Base Camp: All Aussie Adventures” Entry: “It could be that I lead a charmed life, if could be that someone else on this crazy tour brought the good luck, but we’ve just had two sensational days. The early morning start yesterday didn’t fill me with too much confidence but once the 15 of us hit the road and headed south the weather was definitely on the improve. First stop was Stuart’s Well for a camel ride and a nourishing egg and bacon sandwich washed down with mud-flavoured coffee. The worst coffee of my life didn’t dampen the spirits of the kamakaze Japanese riders, nor us spectators in the light morning drizzle. Very amusing. Erldanda (with the dubious distinction of being geographically dead centre of Australia) and Curtin Creek (beyond impressive Mt Connor) soon followed. All this time Chris, our typically Aussie guide (think a competent Russell Coight), regaled us with facts about camels (there are over 500000 running wild in Australia, they can carry 500kg and only need water every 12-14 days) and road trains (can measure up to 55 metres in length). By lunch we’d hit the Yulara Resort at the base of Uluru and our first stop would be Kata Tjuta, also known in white mans speak as The Olgas. I never realised these we just down the road from …
Tranquillity base at Karijini
It is a place that time has left alone. Karijini’s towering gorge walls, spectacular waterfalls and deep, cool pools inspire the thought that apart from the coloured beach towel beneath my feet, the view is exactly as it would have been thousands of years ago; that long before European settlement, someone was exploring this ancient landscape, swimming in the same streams and slipping on the same …

I found an adult sawfly at the base of a scots pine in Edmonton Alberta which has a yellow head, yellow mandibles, yellow forelegs, and, the rest of the insect is black. The insects were hovering and crawling about on a prostrate juniper at the base of the pine.
Nachdem ich lange eine gute Notebooktasche für ein 17″ MacBook Pro gesucht habe, die nicht nur das Gerät schützt, sondern auch noch optisch etwas bietet bin ich nun auf die Base Camp Messanger Notebooktasche von The North Face aufmerksam geworden. Sie ist zwar kein Hingucker aber man kann sich mit ihr auf die Straße trauen. Die Polsterung für das Notebook ist leider etwas dürftig, aber dank der Größe ist es möglich das Notebook mitsamt Sleeve in die dafür vorgesehene Vorrichtung zu stecken, so dass man schließlich doch einen guten Schutz hat. Ansonsten ist an der Tasche, die es in vielen verschiedenen Farben gibt nichts zu meckern. Sie scheint gut verarbeitet zu sein und durch das Planenmaterial wird auch kein Wasser dringen können. Neben dem Notebook finden auch noch min. 2 Ordner und der Powerbrick in der Tasche platz. Für 80€ ist dies eine gute Tasche und deshalb auch eine Kaufempfehlung. Wer etwas mehr Geld ausgeben möchte bekommt eine Notebooktasche von Crumbler für ca. 150€. Die schützt das Notebook deutlich besser ist aber, wie ich finde, optisch nicht so berauschend.
