Ultimative Herausforderung - unbefestigte Piste

Wir stehen mit dem ersten Sonnenlicht auf und werden gleich wieder von Bienen, Fliegen und Ameisen begruesst. Wir beschliessen das Fruehstueck zu verschieben, packen unser Auto und fahren weiter nach Westen auf dem Rundweg durch die West MacDonnell Ranges. An einem Aussichtspunkt mit Blick auf einen riesigen Meteroitenkrater fruehstuecken wir …

Alice Springs - Standley Chasm and rest

During our stay in Kings Canyon Resort we met nice people who, like us, are travelling with kids. They are from Sydney and like going to the hot country, mostly Northern Territory. Interestingly, after we crossed NT border (again) we met a second nice couple!? We exchanged some photos and talked over and over our last evening in Kings Canyon. It …

Angus, Terry & Me

After the previous day's exertions, I had a bit of a lie-in this morning, so I decided to have a lazy day. The only thing of note that I did was to visit the Reptile House. Since Adelaide I've been reading Bill Bryson’s Down Under and I’ve found that some of our experiences are quite similar. Anyway, the point is that his visit to a …

Devils Marbles

It was still raining heavily in the morning and also very cold. B was still in bed when we had packed up and ready to leave. B didn't know if she wanted to drive in the rain or to stay in town and do her washing. Too bad that no one had told H & I that they may want to stay, because once we had packed up there was no way that we could …

Another day in the Alice

Today once again it was a relaxing day in Alice Springs. Everyone planned to go into town to go shopping. For breakfast we all had either toast or cereal again. Melanie and Joanna relaxed whilst Sharon and Tanya went into town for groceries and Neil and Terry were off getting parts for Neil's car. Melanie and Joanna stayed in their pyjamas until …

Devils Marbles, Alice Springs, Macdonnell Ranges

Travelling west from Cairns we mapped out a route to Normanton that took us a full day to reach. From here we could join a road heading south to Mount Isa. Unbeknown to us, when we got to Croydon- a town 100 kilometers before Normanton, there was a flood in full flow, dissecting the road to Normanton. We were now left with two options- sit and wait …

Going Up North for warmth!

Journey to the Middle

The train journey is amazing. There are four types of accommodation – Premier, Gold, Red Sleepers and Red day/nighters which have reclining seats only and are the cheapest. The Red carriages have been completely renovated this last …

Stepping into the unknown

Hello,

Our last 4wd trip near Mt Isa was to Fountain springs. This was a good road not rough like the other one. We drove to the springs, and it actually came out of the mountain, some of it, the rest of the water would flow from up top the cliff. It was a nice spot though full of mozzies, so we quickly had a look and then back in the car …

From a Rock to a Wet Place !

We had two days in Alice Springs and yet again we had more bad weather expected and it came ! When we arrived on Sunday afternoon after driving in the rain we soon met up with our new friends we met at Kings Canyon. The kids were so excited to see their friends plus to get to ALICE's town!

Monday we spent the morning at Desert Park …
