Old Update #10 - West Macdonnell Ranges

Here's the site of the fatal car crash that ended the Cannonball Run in 1994.



Heading West from Alice Springs into the West Macdonnell Ranges, and we found a nice look-out that we were able to camp at for a few nights.


We did a few walks, did some schooling, watched some sunsets, drank some beer etc. It was lovely.


The colours in the sunsets were great - we were looking straight up the valley at the sunset - couldn't get a better spot.

An example of one of the sunsets.


This is looking West - but early in the morning

You can see why the sunsets end up so nice.


Anyone care to go into business with a State Government that CAN'T EVEN SPELL !! ? ??


Another walk - this time Ormiston Gorge


James just surveying the 'Talent' - ONYA SON ! !


Free showers - Yay ! ! ! It's amazing how excited we get about simple pleasures like this.


Another fire - James looks tuckered out.


Another view of our campsite. Rocky here - but great spot.


Emma's turn to set & light the fire.


School-of-the-air in Alice Springs. This means a whole lot more to the kids now.
