UFO capital of oz!
unfortunately no UFOs dropped in on us during our stay, but i'm sure, being stuck out in the middle of nowhere with no-one to talk to, there probably have been a few sightings by the eccentric few dying for some ...
It’s a long way to Hell
…or at least to where the Devil left his marbles. And to get there we had a 5hr drive ahead of us – so an 8:00am departure from Gemtree (booty aboard) was called for. Last night was cold and the "24 hr" generators stopped at the customary ...
Wycliffe Wells
... Creek. We arrived just as it was nearly dark. It all seemed very surreal as apparently Wycliffe Well is the UFO centre of Australia (who knew?) and there were a few plastic statues of aliens there to greet us, as well as pretty much every building being ...

The Devil is in the Details

Those devilish big round rocks
We left Alice Springs after lunch and within half an hour had crossed the Tropic of Capricorn; we were now officially in the tropics! In the company of Bilbo Baggins (we were listening to The Hobbit) we sped north, timing our ...
rolling, rolling, rolling...
It is a long way from Alice Springs to the beach, a vast flat nothingness. After the Devils Marbles, huge granite boulders, there isn`t much else on the way to Queensland. Ah, longing for the sea... Es ist ein weiter Weg von Alice Springs bis zum Strand, ...

Devils Marbles
We considered making Tenant Creek our next overnight stop but it is a bit of a kip. Apparently, the mine shutdown a couple of years ago and the town has been slowly dying ever since. Instead we camped down by the Devils Marbles about another 100km south ...
