		:''Tropic of Capricorn is also the name of a novel by Henry Miller, first published in 1939.'' The Tropic of Capricorn is one of the five major ''circles of latitude'' that mark maps of the Earth.
		This is the parallel of latitude that runs 23° 26' 22" south of the Equator, and is the farthest southern latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead.
		This line is called the Tropic of Capricorn because about 2000 years ago, when it was named, the sun appeared directly overhead, at this latitude, during the winter solstice, it was entering the zodiac sign of Capricorn.

		There's the Stuart Highway, which runs north-south smack through the middle of the outback, and through Alice Springs.
		While driving, I amused myself by driving on the right side of the highway for a while (that's the wrong side in Australia), and did a zig-zagging game with the white lines down the road - that's just to give you an impression of the amount of traffic.
		This is against the rental agency's rules (because of the danger of explosion in a traffic accident) but we were not willing to run the risk of stranding in the Outback.
