We left quirky Lightning Ridge with promises to return. It’s our kind of place – no expectations, anything goes, be whoever you are.

| Takhi, or Przewalski's horses, are today classified as endangered in the wild, but were once extinct as a result of human interference. Tarangoo Zoo is part of a protection and reintroduction program. Beautiful spirited horses. |
The trip back home was travelled on a bit of a down note after the exciting weeks we had just spent. We did stop in to visit the Dubbo Plains Zoo but apart from that it was just quiet driving as we each reflected over what we had seen and experienced and started to contemplate our next adventure to the Arctic Circle. Wonderful extremes! We lift off in barely 2 month to the land of volcanoes, geysers, hot springs and lava fields. A land cut through with massive glaciers and one that bridges two tectonic plates which are slowly drifting apart. Also the land where the first assembly of the Alþingi was convened at Þingvellir becoming the earliest version of a formalized parliamentary system of the first parliament in Europe. There and then Greenland - either way it’s all about Vikings, frozen mountains and icy seas.
