Day 6

Yulara to Tennant Creek.

Phew, that's a fair hike (about 1000km). Didn't intend going so far today, but couldn't get in at UFO central.

Did get to stop and play marbles though, saw the remnants of the Darwin to Adelaide Solar Challenge (car race) and met a photogenic dromedary!

Boy these roads sure are long and straight! Measured one stretch at 30km without a single bend! Lots of landscape changes and we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn, north of Alice Springs - and felt the immediate move to a tropical climate.

Can recommend the Eldorado Motor Inn as a place to stay...very hospitable and does a great steak! Sally's keeping one eye open all night though on the 2 geckos that are paying a visit.
