Day Sixty Nine - September 13th, 2013 (Friday the Thirteenth!) Daly Waters to Alice Springs via Devils Marbles Phew! Today was a big one. We thought we'd only get to Devils Marbles, but here we are in Alice.

Once in the car we drove out to East Alligator River, named for the large number of 'alligators' swimming within, which actually turned out to be crocs. We set off for a long walk, with rock art to line our way and some pretty dried it billabongs. As it was the hottest...
