From the Tanami to Alice

Day 30

Today is a run in from the Tanami into Alice. We are looking at 350K’s so it will be late this afternoon. So talk then.
Got away for our haul to Alice. It was a bitumen road all the way. So that means there’s about 400-500 K’s of bitumen on the Tanami. We made Tilmouth road house for smoko and I got my cappuccino coffee. We headed off from there to see if we could make Alice for lunch. We got to town and filled up with fuel. That was nearly $400. Total distance from Halls Creek to Alice is 1024 K’s. Had to stock up on some tools then we had lunch and did the shopping. Back to the Discovery Caravan Park and a ensuite site. The washing was the first thing on and some clean up of the gear. Then time for a beer and wine. Hopefully the cloths will be dry this afternoon so we can pack and be ready to go again in the morning. We had dinner and no not all the gear was dry so we hung it up in the camper to pack it away in the morning. All set for our homeward leg tomorrow. More dirt and dusty roads. We must love this stuff to be in it all the time.Read more
