1/10/2019 Sadly I have to leave the NT and head back home to the colder climate. I was reminded not far into my journey, how things can go pear shaped pretty quickly. The main photo above shows some unlucky travellers losing control of their car, whilst towing a caravan. They […]

28/09/2019 After packing the car once more, I left Finke Gorge NP with much sadness. But instead off heading straight back to Alice Springs, I decided to do the Namatjira Drive through the West MacDonnell Ranges NP. What a spectacular drive. There is so much to see along this drive, […]

8/09/219 It’s time to reach my final destination, Finke Gorge National Park. It was an easy 120km drive West of Alice to Hermannsburg. Then a 22 km gravel road into Finke Gorge NP. Lots of corrugations, sand and river stone. But not to bad. The track meanders in and along Finke […]

7/09/2019 Just a relax day in Alice. Stocking up on food and seeing a couple of things around town. One of the first things to look at was the old telegraph station. It’s pretty impressive. It marks the original site of the first European settlement in Alice Springs. It was […]

Friday 6th September. I left Marla in the morning and finally crossed the border from South Australia into the Northern Territory (NT). I pressed on for the rest of the day and reached my destination Alice Springs. Alice Springs is located in the physical centre of the Australian continent, roughly […]

It’s now Thursday 5th September and this day will make it 5 days that I have been on the road. After leaving Glendambo, in the morning, the first thing that was apparent was the amount of road kill. It was stretched out over at least 50km, where kangaroos had been […]

From Crystal Brook, I headed across to Port Augusta, then North up the Stuart Highway. This took me to a place called Woomera. Woomera has a rich history with the Australian defence department. It was declared a prohibited area in 1947. The Woomera Prohibited Area’s (WPA) size is 122188 km2. The […]

Travelled from Cullulleraine to Crystal Brook (South Australia). A total of 370km today. Only 1316km to go. It was an interesting drive through very dry country to the the lush green ranges near Burra. It was a real contrast. The highlight for the day was seeing a whole heap of […]

Travelled just over 400km today. The highlight for the day was seeing the awesome mural on the silos at Nullawil. It really is dry out here. I noticed some dams with no water at all and some areas were virtually dust bowls. I bypassed Mildura and ended up at Lake […]
