If you don't let the outback bug you...

The outback is really nice, if you don't let it bug you too much. This past weekend, I rented a car with Drew, Katherine, and Hannah and we drove to the outback, equipped with a couple of tents and the linens from our hotel rooms. We saw flocks of emus just chilling by the road. We saw mobs of kangaroos bouncing around in the fields. And we experienced a small taste of the bugs of the outback. We spent the second night at Lightning Ridge, and there were a LOT of mossies! Mosquitoes, loving termed 'mossies' by aussies, are in abundance in the outback. Luckily, my bites are just red dots at the moment, but Katherine and Hannah are suffering the most. Katherine counted two bites on her left foot this morning. However, the sunsets were gorgeous and the landscape is beautiful too. I had fun, but it's nice to be back in the comfy hotel again!
