Goodbye Kings Canyon
29 augusti 2022, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Goodbye Kings Canyon, your facilities are great for being in the middle of nowhere.

However, no phone service only emergency call was disappointing considering at the Canyon we had service. So, no catching up with Find Penguins or even my game. Even at the pub no Wi-Fi or phone service only a landline from Telstra.

Last night we also had a power outage but no dingos.

Here we come Alice Springs.Läs mer

Driving to Alice
29 augusti 2022, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C
We will share the drive as it is on the same roads we drove to Uluru and Kings Canyon, it is 5 hour long boring drive.

We did come across melons growing along the road side.

We are very confident driving the Motorhome now and happy to keep to the speed limit.Läs mer

Back to the Campground
30 augusti 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
We had to take the beaten track back to the campground as there was a fatality on the highway. The drive was very dusty and bumpy.

Back now and time to start packing and cleaning the van.

Connellan Airways
30 augusti 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Found another interesting spot to investigate.

EJ Connellan and Connellan Airways, the ‘world’s biggest little airline’, pioneered aviation from its base, ‘Townsite’ aerodrome, in Alice Springs from 1939 until 1968. The original Connellan Hangar remains on what is now the Central Australian Aviation Museum precinct and is a salute to pioneering aviation.

It played a vital role in breaking down isolation in the Outback with regular mail and freight runs, urgent medical help, survey and passenger transport to remote Aboriginal and mining communities, and charter flights for tourists to some of Australia’s most iconic destinations.Läs mer

Kookaburra Memorial
30 augusti 2022, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
The Kookaburra Memorial is dedicated to Keith Anderson and Bob Hitchcock. Anderson and Hitchcock died after their aircraft, the 'Kookaburra', was forced to land in the Tanami Desert on 10 April 1929 while searching for Charles Kingsford Smith and Charles Ulm.

The wreck was found after fourteen days. It was then abandoned until 1978 when it was recovered by aviator and adventurer Dick Smith.Läs mer
