Hi Belle, Mikey, Asher and Jarvis.....We forgot to tell you in the last blog that Kings Creek Station has lots of camels and a very young white camel called Snowy. Nanna went down and took a photo for you all.A big driving day today, firstly heading back to the Stuart Highway [approx 2.5 hours], The Erldunda service station which was packed with 4wds and caravan rigs of all shapes and sizes. A quick sandwich & coke then onto Alice Springs for a fuel stop. From there a further 130klm to Gemtree Caravan Park on the Plenty Highway.
On the outskirts of Alice Springs, we passed the assembly point for the finish of the Finke Desert Rally [ one of the Territory's biggest evets], which has been held over the previous 2-3 days. Vehicles and bikes of all descriptions, including competitors were starting to leave the complex in a steady stream.
We got in around 4.30pm, just before their closure, and set up the tent on an unpowered site called "Tourmaline". All the sites are named after gemstones. The ground was very unforgiving on the tent pegs with quite a number becoming bent.
