Cosmos: Around the World with Our Kids
This was no ordinary vacation; instead our Cosmos (around the world) journey with our kids was a lifestyle change that lasted over four months, from September 2003 to January 2004.

After turning off Stuart Highway and driving about 140 miles west, we reached Ayers Rock, also known as Uluru.
We left Ayers Rock and drove five hours to Alice Springs. We made time for a visit to a reptile center and a camel farm, where we all rode a camel.
We are now in the dead center of the country – Alice Springs. It’s been in the 90’s and 100’s degrees F for the last week. And because of wet weather to the north, it’s a bit humid as well.
We spent 3 1/2 weeks in Australia and saw a great variety of the country, from the east coast cities of Brisbane and Sydney to the smaller towns of Adelaide, Alice Springs and Darwin, with Ayers Rock, Litchfield National Park and the Outback in between.
