A Trip To The Australian Outback – Photos
In our previous Australia post, you saw us snorkelling with Nemo and frolicking through the lush rainforests on the tropical east coast of the continent.
Of course, Australia is equally known for its bone-dry counterpart, the Outback …
When we set out on this student exchange in 2009 our homesickness was always kept at bay by the fact that we knew our parents were going to visit us during the holidays halfway though our 6-month stay. They decided to rent a caravan in Sydney a week before our school holiday started and do some exploring and travelling along the coast themselves before meeting us in Adelaide to join forces.
We were so excited to see them again and show them what our lives have been like for the last few months. We were living with two separate host families at the time and couldn’t wait to introduce them to our real family. 🙂
After a few days of talking our mouths off, showing them around everywhere and hanging out with a now extra-large family we jumped into the RV and set out to explore the Outback with Dad and our stepmum Michaela.
We visited miner towns like Coober Pedy, soaked in the absolute dead silence of the Outback at night and of course had to spend some time at the famous Ayers Rock / Uluru, where we even filmed 2 videos, covers of 8 Days a Week and I’m Yours.
A trip we will never ever forget and a great way to finish the Australian chapter here in the MLT Club archives. We hope you enjoyed the pictures and going on this virtual exploration with us ♥

Amazing to me how you and your family are so talented at taking so many great pictures! Makes me feel like I was there and probably makes you remember the whole trip more vividly. I’m a big picture documenter and there are always a few pictures at least that recreate the feelings. Thanks for sharing!
My last sunset picture when we were in Hawaii –
Wow! What beautiful scenery. No wonder you enjoyed your visit so much! Its not often that our surroundings stir our senses so much. But when its this breathtaking. It makes it easy.
The outback pictures were fantastic. It appears so much like our western states of Nevada, Arizona and Utah in the US. I’ve traveled in them many times. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful pictures! Beautiful Country with some amazing scenery. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us!
I recognized the area at Uluru where you filmed The Beatles “Eight Days a Week” and Jason Mraz “I’m Yours.” The “Eight Days a Week” video was the first video I saw of you two, and the reason I went to your website. So glad I did. ????❤
More awesome photos from our intrepid MonaLisa Twins who have awesome parents. It won’t be too long before I sell up and get a campervan to do something similar. Thanks for sharing!
Always love it when you share your adventures. Seeing places I’ll never get to go. It’s a big beautiful world out there!
Who has the koolest parents in the world? Lisa and Mona, that’s who.
The shadow picture is great, but who is the fifth shadow?
Did someone shadow-bomb your photo?

Thanks for the pics.
I assume as these were taken down under that you flipped them 180 degrees before posting them?.

Thankyou sharing these memories 9f your time in Australia, much enjoyed ????
Another nice set of pictures, with some of them beautifully framed. Your family has quite an eye for photography!
Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures and your wonderful outback adventure. Was most uplifting to see. The coastline formations are magnificent and desert scenery really captivating. I love the desert. That helicopter ride with Papa Rudi in the cockpit next to the pilot looked thrilling. Enjoyed these so much, thanks again. 🙂
