We were hoping to catch up with Phil, Krys, Marion and Sharon in Katherine but the only info we had from them was that they were staying somewhere 7km outside of Katherine. We gambled that they might be at a spot 9km south west at a place called Mambulloo as we couldn't see anything on our maps indicating anything else out the other way. When we arrived there and asked if they were booked in the lady hadn't heard of them. We explained that they were camped somew...

Sunday 23rd June We left Alice Springs at 9.10am on a cold crisp morning of 5', all the mornings here were 2 or below while we were here but the days warmed to around 18'. Odometer was 115940.

Some are just straight up and some look like they have guest accommodation alongside, some are even dressed in t/shirts. Apparently these termites like the grass up this way and mound...

The boys ordered fish and chips and chicken and chips. OMG the portions sizers were huge!! They still managed to get through everything!! W...

Sunday 16th June We woke to a little drizzle, 9' and no wind. It needed to be an early start as we needed to fill up drop the ablutions and head to Curtin Springs, before Kings Canyon. It was a bit of a gamble not fuelling up at Yalura with our 5c voucher. Curtin Springs was 216.9 and didn't have a dump!!! What a rip off!!! $161.46 and 74.75lts. Oh well can't win them all. Stopped for our usual stretch and cuppa and caught up with one of the families we had...

Friday 14th June Today we had a bit of a sleep in before heading out to look at the Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) about 9.10am. We called into the info the Yalara info centre and also checked our emails etc. There was an email from Valarie's parents thanking Glenn passing it on to them. This was our first stop after paying out admission into the national park, $25 each for a 3 day pass. We stopped on our way out to Kata Tjuta Lookout to take photos of the entire rang...
