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.

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!
