An early start back through ‘The Alice’ before once again heading North this time towards our overnight stop at the Devils Marbles. Once again another big drive taking in some aboriginal art work at in Ti Tree and then onwards to the now infamous Barrow Creek – the closest town to where  Joanne Lees and Peter Falconio were attacked by Bradly John Murdoch when driving their combi along the same route. Walking round the round house at Barrow Creek was a weird feeling…

After a brief stop there it was onwards through the town of Tennat Creek and onto the Devils Marbles just in time for sunset. The Devils Marbles are large and small granite rocks scattered all over the landscape making for impressive scenery aswell as an important sacred site for the traditional owners.

Oh watch out for the dingos if your staying there one evening!

Leaving ‘The Alice’ and heading west to see the West Macdonnell Range – The Macdonnell range is a long row of mountains stretching for about 600km with Alice Springs divding them East and West. Lunch was spent at Simpsons Gap – Last time I was i’d cycled from Alice in extreme heat, thankfully not so hot this time and more relaxed having the van!

Camped for the night at Ellery Creek Big Hole – A great spot for swimming and just relaxing in the middle of the outback…
