Sunday 27th April, (Alice Springs).
After having a few days relaxing, doing a few things that need doing and meeting people in the caravan park we went on a short trip to the West MacDonnell Ranges today. We do intend to pack up the caravan and travel as far as we can along the ranges and […]
Wednesday 23rd April, (Alice Springs).
We have now moved to Alice Springs, yesterday in fact, but I did not put these words down yesterday due to my being too tired, I guess all the driving over the past week or so had finally caught up with me and all I wanted to do was sleep.
Even if […]
Monday 21st April, (Curtain Springs/Ayres Rock).
Another trip to Ayres Rock today, and it only emphasised the fact that one could stay around here for a fair while and just visit the rock over and over as it is truly such a spectacle. As Linda stated, “Ayres Rock is, after all, Australia and its icon”.
We did […]
Sunday 20th April, (Curtain Springs).
What an eventful few days we have just had. We have spent the last few days camping out on our way to Ayres Rock, and while in the area of the rock. We met up with a family, 2 +1, at a rest area on the way and as they were […]
Thursday 17th April, (Coober Pedy).
So much for the boring countryside: The scenery we have seen over the last two days is something to be seen. A walk around town yesterday revealed the unique beauty this Coober Pedy has to offer. The fact that there are quite a few buildings actually underground, including houses, is unique […]
Tuesday 15th April, (Coober Pedy).
I have decided after spending last night at Glendambo that if we are only staying overnight in an area that there is little, if not nothing, to see or do, which would be the case being overnight, then we will stay in free camp areas if possible. Staying in parks like […]
Monday 14th April, (Glendambo).
We have now moved to Glendambo, a couple of houses and a couple of roadhouses, one with a caravan park, on the side of the road. I think for some reason that I had already decided that we would stay at this park, and now wonder why. The park is not at […]
Sunday 13th April, (Roxby Downs).
More on Roxby after a walk around town today, it was left for today because yesterday was too wet and we were tied down to the caravan. We summed up the township as being an oasis within a desert. The mine must have placed a lot of thought and spent a […]
Friday 11th April 2003, (Roxby Downs).
We started on our journey up the red centre today. We, especially Linda, are quite surprised at what we have seen so far of the centre as we expected it to be rather baron, dry and sandy, even though we are not far into the centre. It is sandy, red, […]
Friday 11th April, (Port Augusta).
We have had our overnight stay at Port Augusta and are now on to our first leg of our Red Centre trip.
