The arrow is where the tarred road ends, where the dirt road beginsErnest Giles road is the shortest route to go from Alice Springs (Point A) to Kings Canyon (Point B)
Even Google maps on the GPS would direct u off-road.
Tail of dust behind, and guess what's in front?
Toilet roll!
Someone's boot must have flown open, and all their camping food flew out. We stopped to see what we could take!
Russian went to get baked beans
Bestfriend wondered if there was money in one of the bags we saw on the road! Haha, all i wanted to do was take pictures, so i can blog =P
Earlier on, before the dirt road, we spotted camels on the way, stopped to take a closer look
Russian chased them away by going too close!
Bestfriends, without any camels...
Unlike us, taking baked beans and thinking of money! Hahahahha
We drove further down and then saw this car coming from the opposite direction, they were going really slowly. Noticed that the passenger had her door not closed properly and she was picking up stuff. Realised that this had to be the car whose boot flew open! Told them of the other car
Most of the stuff that flew out their car cannot be eaten anymore but they took the effort to actually pick up the ruined groceries to keep and throw into a proper rubbish bin later!
The Malaysian me was so shocked, why are people so thoughtful here? I wouldn't have thought of doing that, i bet the typical Malaysian wouldnt either, but after watching them, in the future i will !
The desert dirt road behind the car had no litter!
Do u think those our are our car tracks? =)

We were on our way to see Australia's tourist's attactions Ayers Rock (aboriginal name: Uluru) and also Kings Canyon

Supp hey! Hahah, the baked beans caught ur attention as well? Haha, thanks man, appreciate ur compliment =)
i finally found time to read ur blog! bleh...
so kesian the boot opened :(
and yeah, typical msians wouldn't be bothered to pick it up. actually, i think most people will be throwing rubbish out their windows instead.
we shall make a change!
Isya hie! Its alright, i understand what u are going through
Yeah damn kesihan, lots of foodstuff wasted, i saw honey.
Agree with u, yeah they will be throwing it out instead! Terrible! The road is so long, we cant expect people to actually pick up rubbish along the way, everyone has to do their own part =)
hehehe.i wld have picked up all those food that can still be eaten.
My mom always ask,don't they teach in school not to throw rubbish out the car window.and well,they do say that "jgn buang sampah" but they didn't add "dari kereta".so,maybe they should eh?
Hie Isya hahaha, yeah we were picking up their baked beans.
Exactly, i dont think our education system is effective. I dont know how they do it here. But examples really touch me. Its amazing watching and will be inclined to follow
