A burning sensation

After Dinky we raced on on Stuarts Highway. We just had to be aware of the occasional road train...

... you do not want to be splattered by 150 tons of live pig.

And we had to drive through some smoke hazard of the fire that was raging 100 kilometers (or so) west of us nearby Luritja road... yep... THE road...

And... what if it would continue to head towards this highway... we had to cross it again in two days on our way back to Alice Springs to get to our plane to Cairns. They would not close down this highway.... or would they??? We opted to ignore that option.
