We set off for Alice on a cold morning with a min temp of 1 degree! Fine & sunny so did manage to warm up as the day went on. I suggested a rest stop for our picnic coffee but Allan said a roadhouse a little further on with a photo opportunity. The locals were not proud & had tipped rubbish everywhere & it was not the place to stay for long at all but did get the photo!
We did see three camels there too! We drove on to Ti Tree where the camping ground behind the roadhouse was quite nice with grass & concrete pads & it felt very secure with an electric gate across all the time. Quite a party night between the locals at the roadhouse & some off roaders who stayed in the park. We had a visit from this peacock while having our happy hour.
30 th June Wednesday.
A chilly 9 degrees on leaving for our 200 klm trip & stopped at a truck stop for our coffee as couldn't find a rest stop. John had arrived first to Wauchope & only one powered site left but big enough to share with us although a tight squeeze for everyone in the park behind the roadhouse. Allan couldn't get Foxtel which was a first so no TV,phone or water so had to use our tanks. As we were only a short distance away we took a drive to Devil's Marbles. These were amazing & very warm walking around looking at all the different formations.
It got to 27 so finally into warmer weather. The roadhouse had a really nice beer garden with a pool so we walked over for a drink there for our happy hour. Such a change to see a garden in the outback.
Still a few days behind with the blog but more tomorrow. Love Bev & Allan.
