It's a humbling experience.
The time I drove from Adelaide to Darwin was an eye-opener. I had thought that after Port Augusta, all of the country would be desert and boring as, but even within the desert bits, it changed every 100km or so and surprisingly it was fascinating to see. The changes were particularly noticeable between Katherine and Darwin. So glad I did that trip.
