Wycliffe Well to Mataranka We this will be our longest day on the road and in hindsight we would stop at Daly Waters but for some reason we just kept pushing on. Up early and on the road fairly quickly we stopped in Tennent Creek for fuel and Coffee then to attack creek for morning smoko. We were going to stop at Elliott for the night but we had been advised not to stop there and I really understand why it was a very rundown place and didn't look at all inviti...

Alice Springs to Wycliffe Well and the Devils Marbles.

We weren't afraid but just amazed that we were so close to it. Again Kings Canyon was the best stop so far and everyone should get there in their lives. As the road is not made (I mean hard top) to ge...

The bubble 'O' bill fiasco!!! After listening to Hamish and Andy all the way to Kings Canyon the boys were going to test the theory of "can bubble 'O' bill's get you drunk" . James went off to the shop to purchase two bubble 'O' bill's and by the time we got back from our walk they had set up the poker and were ready to embarked on their test. So off they chomped needless to say they weren't intoxicated but they sure hammed it up and it was a great laug...
