We stayed a few more days back in Alice and this time caught up with our travelmates Joe and Leanne (both teachers).
We were keen on hearing about their work experience at a school near Tennant Creek.
I went with them to N'Dhala gorge and Trephina gorge on the east Mac Donnell ranges and liked it so much that I convinced Manfred to stay an extra night in Alice and go and see those 2 gorges again. The drive to N'Dhala gorge was a 9 km 4WD track but it was well worth. We saw some aboriginal rock carvings all along the walk.
After we left Alice and on our way north, we stopped at the Ebenezer roadhouse to look at some local aboriginal craft.
We spent the night at a UFO place called Wycliff Well. Nina and Annabelle enjoyed feeding the rabbits and watching the emus and its chicks, but no sign of UFOs that night!
The next day we stopped at Devils Marbles again and spent a bit more time there to look at the amazing granite stone formation.
Someone recommended the Mary-Ann dam just passed Tennant Creek to us so we decided to have a picnic there.
After one night at Banka Banka homestead, we drove to Daly waters, village famous for its historic pub. We had a nice BBQ barramundi dinner there with country music entertainment.
Hi, good to see a bit of an update but where are you all now? I'm assuming somewhere in WA. Hope everything is going fabulously. have you seen whale sharks? All fine here, life trips along and the months fly by. It is school holidays again ans we have had a lovely day at the zoo. Weather still fickle - glorious one day, vile the next, but summer is sort of here. I hear Nina is coming to Ivanhoe Park next year - that's great. Send more news soon, Sarah x
