Have made it to "The Alice". Quick hallo to you and will get some photos on tomorrow.
Have been to William Creek, Lake Eyre, Oodnadatta, Dalhousie Spring, Mt Dare, Chambers Pillar and in between.
Had two delightful girls accompany us in Max's vehicle for some of the way and have just dropped them off.
Looking forward to hot showers and toilets that flush.
Favorite out of the above mentioned is Dalhousie Spring. Dalhousie Spring is a pool on the edge of the Simpson Desert about the size of a football field. It is 35 degrees all year. As it is cool this time of year it was bliss, like climbing into a giant hot bath. We had several swims and stayed in until we got "pruney" each time. In the morning the mist coming off the pool looked beautiful as we swam. Loved it.
Got to Lake Eyre which is supposed to be one of the driest places in Australia and it rained and was freezing and blowing a gale...not my favorite!!
Getting to like this four wheel driving to out of the way places. Think I would like to do the Simpson Desert in a year or two. I have seen places I had never heard of until we set out on this trip!! Awesome and still think Bret is fabulous...the big honey.
Oh and we went to the geographical centre of Australia (Lamberts geographical centre) and got to see the most amazing array of wildflowers. It was incredible. The large amount of rain the interior has had was a bonus for us with carpets of multicoloured flowers, and the birdlife is amazing as well. Saw flocks of budgies all over the place...totally awe inspiring all in all.
More tomorow.
