Today is our final day in Alice, but purely a working day in preparation for heading off to the Simpson Desert tomorrow.
First of all it was washing our clothes until we get home.
Then off to shop for supplies for the coming 10 days through the Simpson. The relieving Motel manager - Sarah recommend butchers to visit for our meat supplies. Dot was blown away by this Butcher's shop.
The range of meat products was unbelievable. In addition to the normal product lines we could choose from goat, buffalo, camel burgers and camel/date sausages, kangaroo metwurst & cabana, Duck feet & tongues, livers etc, Chicken feet / livers etc.
In addition it had a huge range of frozen seafood products sourced from Alaska, Hong Kong, New Zealand as well as around Australia. Much of this was very reasonably priced according to Dot.
Further still it had a large range of cheeses, sauces [ including washabi] and relishes eg ham jam, snag jam, pork jam, lamb jam.
They were very helpful and cryo-vacced all of the meat, even breaking down existing larger amounts into smaller parcels for our convenience. We were adventurous and look forward to their camel products, middle eastern rissoles, kangaroo mettwurst.
Dot wants them to set up an outlet in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. She was so excited about the shop, she immediately rang Helen [Darvell] to update her on the shop, but she was not home. Instead Dot brought Ian upto date on the shop and its contents.
Then onto Woolworths for much canned and dried produce.
The afternoon was spent reorganising the car and getting everything back into the car, or into the roof bag.
This was quite tiring.
No photos were taken today.
We will be outside Telecom footprint for probably the next 10 days, unless we have coverage at Birdsville.
We will update the blog when next we can.
