Spent the day in Alice Springs today, we all went our separate ways to do whatever we chose.
Most of the morning was spent shopping for our supplies. It will be 10 days until we get to the next reliable shopping centre. I may not have Internet access either. I will attempt to write daily and upload when I can.
Rhoda your dad is sorry that he missed his timespot for his phone call to you. Alice Springs is an interesting town, but the plight of the aborigines is heartbreaking, no one seems to know what to do for them.
Michael, me, Dean, Wanda and Greg went to the Desert Park to learn about the different aspects of the desert and to see desert creatures and wildflowers. They have a bird flight show much like Healesville Sanctuary, and although interesting was not as good as the one Healesville has.
I think we all went to the information centre to check on the road conditions on the Tanami apparently OK NT side and as rough as guts on the WA side. It appears that the road into Wolfe Creek Crater is bad too.
Tony, a marvel of all trades has had to repair/adjust the following so far (and we haven’t even got onto rough roads yet):
His own CB radio aerial (something needed welding)
Our fridge slide which would not lock back
Something in Peter’s engine when a red light came on on his dashboard
Loose connection on Deans battery
What would we do without him?
Sounds like you guys are having a ball. Belle loved hearing that Dot was driving Pa's car, and leading all the cars. Hope that you are enjoying the Alice.
