Road travel in Outback Australia is a unique experience - sometimes you are completely on your own and don't see other cars for hours and hours (days in the more remote parts!), as you travel the seemingly endless stretches of straight highway across flat plains.
And this is just in NSW - the populated part of the Outback! When you start heading into the Red Centre of Australia, that is when you realise just what a sparsely populated country Australia is.
It wasn't that many years ago when an aboriginal family wandered out of these vast deserts making their first contact with modern Australia! Who is to say that there aren't others still out there that haven't been touched by western civilisation? There is something very spiritual about driving in the Outback, you almost become one with the open road - faithfully following its direction until you reach that next destination...
Always remember to keep your eyes on the road and watch out for any animals nearby, take regular rests and above all, try to avoid driving at dusk and nighttime.
As a final clue to this picture - it is actually the Silver Highway between Broken Hill and Wentworth several hundred kilometres to the south - the tarmac gives it away, if you were truly on a road to nowhere, the first major giveaway would be the fact that it will be a dirt road!
Safe driving!
