Day 43 A day in Alice

We are now commencing week 7 of our journey, just over a week and a half to go. 1260km done with a few thousand to go. Bloody cold this morning( not as cold as Canberra), about 3c, packed up and moved the van to the new park about 2km from the Todd St Mall. Pulled into the site snd so far seems ok. Went into the Mall and had a wander about checking out the town centre. Checked out some aboriginal art galleries (not my normal thought of entertainment). Some of the prices were astronomical, upwards of $70,000. Got most of our admin stuff sorted today, booked Uluru Campground and the “Sounds of Silence” dinner under the stars overlooking Uluru for Sunday night. Went for a spin up to the Anzac memorial on a hill overlooking the town. Great views over Alice.

Off to visit some Gorges tmw

Things I got right and wrong on this trip

Right
1. The car storage behind the front seats, a bunch of pockets that hook to the seat and hang down. Very hand for iPads, portable chargers, spare handheld radio etc
2. Two occy straps between the back seat grab handles to store hats.
3. Storing hoses (grey and fresh) on van back bumper
4. Investing in lithium batteries with 3000w inverter
5. Spare toilet cassette
6. Telstra nighthawk with 400g data

Wrong
1. Carrying 15kg of firewood and only used the fire pit once
2. Carrying an esky in case I needed it once. Takes up space.
3. Too many clothes and footwear. Could have easily halved it

There are more but will save until laterLäs mer
