Stopped last night at Karlwekarlwe - aka The Devil's Marbles. Very different landscape here - passing through bushfires - assume indigenous 'caring for country' as fires seem to be of no concern. (15 minutes later - I take that back - just passed a fire 4WD heading back the way we just came!). Many termite mounds, different tree species.

We added Spinifex Pigeons to our trip list, as well as Black-breasted Buzzards. Also the magpies have changed to the black-backed ones.

We had a dingo in our campsite last night - very laid-back - just hoping someone might feed it but not in the least intrusive.

Spent yesterday driving from Alice, after a lazy slow start. Bought myself 'The Songlines' to read - recommended by ranger at Uluru.

Saturday in Alice was spent doing washing and re-stocking food supplies.

Finding some interesting Yoga for Tenters poses. Might write a book! There's the Mattress Squash - sort of a Downward Dog but on the knees as you squeeze all the air from the mattress as you roll it. Another favourite is the Toast Squat - a semi-meditative pose held for about four minutes whilst peering under the gas toaster to get that perfect brown tinge to your toast. My first attempt at getting vertical in the morning is also probably quite amusing to watch - certainly not a graceful manouvre, especially if it is being performed at desperate speed!
