I wasn't going to let the small detail of being on holiday stop me from completing Frocktober this year, so I packed all of the necessaries and did what I could.
Frock Nine was this light summery number I wore in the tropical heat of Darwin. A note to aspiring crossdressers who may be reading this; do not crossdress in Darwin in later October. You will melt.
Anyway, we managed a visit to the botanic gardens, and here I am on the back lawn of the Northern Territory Parliament building. This has a very nice, air-conditioned, library in which we spent a relaxing afternoon.
I had considered leaving my Frocktober there, and stopping at nine frocks. It's not an easy thing to do on a camping holiday when you're living out of a van in various caravan parks. But when we finally got to Uluru - our destination - on the last day of October I decided that I'd squeeze in that tenth frock. And here it is; my cute constellation print dress.
We visited the beautiful Kata Tjuta ...
... walked a couple of the gorges ...
... and did Uluru itself.
A perfect end to this year's Frocktober!
(I actually fitted in one more frock the next day, but that was outside of Frocktober. However we were in Alice Springs and visited one of the locations from 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert' and it would have been rude not to have dressed up for it).

You can still donate - for the next week or so I think - here: IT HAS POCKETS
