Cool morning as we headed to Tennant Creek for fuel & coffee on our way to Threeways roadhouse. Coffee was fine but not much else to see & do & newsagents & chemist shared the same shop! We joined the queue to get into the park as everyone arrives early to get a site with power & water. The afternoon was warm & sunny & we sat in the red dust to enjoy it.
John & Sue warned us about the next stop being very rundown when they were there 6 years ago. We set off for Elliott on Saturday 2 nd July & the usual boring scenery with no stock & not even roadkill although there were hundreds of termite mounds everywhere. The roadhouse at Elliott had not changed although has potential to be quite nice. The loos were clean & no frogs which Sue encountered last time. The sign on the back of the ladies said it all." Please keep door shut to keep out snakes"! A few other campers arrived & we had a dozen peacocks & a blue heeler for company too. It was quite hot so enjoyed the sunshine.

During these stops we were without phone,Internet & Foxtel as to Allan's dismay the box seemed to have a problem so he missed out on the weekend sport!
Sun 3 rd July.
We set off in beautiful sunshine & 21 degrees for the 160 klm's to Daly Waters.we queued to book in & then waited at the gate to be given our allotted site & no choosing here. Packed in quite close as a very popular place. We were allowed to fill our tanks with water & then had to use that as not enough pressure to hook everyone up. Loved to death these places are! Very unique & interesting
The pub featured in the movie " Last Cab to Darwin" & was quite different with excellent staff. We had a light lunch there & came back for Happy hour & dinner. John & Sue had the Beef & Barra as did most people & interesting to be close enough to see the staff cope really well with the 100+ meals.
The country & western singer arrived to entertain & the we certainly had the feel of being outback & very different experience for us. All good. Love Allan & Bev.
