Hello everybody,
on Wednesday, we drove to 'Cadney Station" for the night, & on Thursday morning, we drove to Erldunda, where we paid $1.89 /litre for fuel. Because the weather was so cold in Alice Springs, we by-passed it on Friday, and drove to Aileron, which is 130k north of Alice Springs. Aileron has the highest fuel price so farr. $1.99/litre. The caravan park was quite nice, but the ablutions left a lot to be desired.The next day was Saturday, & we drove to the "UFO" capitol of Australia, "Wycliffe Well". Look it up on Google. We were there for lunch & booked in for 2 days. By 4.30pm we were well into happy hour when a chap who works there, approached us and said, "Your an electrician, we have had lots of problems since the flood. If you see the boss, you'll have a job." I did, & I did. We left five days later & all parties were happy. Whilst we were there, we made friends with 2 couples who were working there for a short time, & with the emus, galahs, donkeys etc. On our last night, an Aboriginal singer entertained us in the restaurant. Today is Thursday, & we drove to Three Ways, which is about 25Ks north of Tenant Creek. I went swimming here, but the pool was like ice. Tomorrow, we will drive along the Barkly Highway to Barkly Station, where we will stop for a day or two.
I'll post some pictures shortly.
Love to you all,
Avril & Doug. XXXX
